After noon, Yang Feng was about to get off work. Before getting off work, he specially boiled a large pot of braised chicken soup ingredients. Many people in the kitchen can make this dish, but he has always done the soup base ingredients himself.

There were not many customers in the store, and there was no talk of being too busy. Yang Feng told the apprentice a few words, greeted the kitchen supervisor, went out to change clothes, pushed a bicycle out of the shed in the courtyard behind, and rode to the east.

Someone asked him out in the afternoon, so Yang Feng simply got off work early.

Anyway, I don’t know how long it took for the store to pay the bonus, and my salary was the same amount every month, so I often kept it from paying it, which didn’t matter.

He has a corps, but he is fired because of this small matter? An impossible thing.

To put it bluntly, it is harder to remove his staff than to pass the exam and enter the Grain Bureau.

Follow Jingqi Road, head east to Ganshi Bridge and turn into Shengli Street to the south. Yang Feng's home is next to the old post office dormitory, a tube building with red bricks exposed outside. This is a building from the late 1980s, and the welfare room distribution in Taifeng Garden that year.

Compared with ordinary tube buildings, this building has much better conditions. Each household has a small bathroom and a small toilet, so it does not require several households to use it together.

But even if the conditions for welfare housing distribution in those days were good, they could not be compared with the commercial housing that has emerged in recent years.

Yang Feng opened the door and entered the kitchen and bathroom, and then there was a small living room and two-bedroom layout. The house was built for more than ten years, and the white and gray skin on the wall was like the hands of some people who were very skinny when the seasons changed, which was a terrible sight.

The living room was so small that he could only put down a dining table. Yang Feng took off his coat and put it on the round stool. His partner came out of the room and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Yang Feng sat on another round stool: "I'm back early and late, and I'm going to be the 700 yuan a month."

His partner whispered: "It's okay to pay every month's money! You haven't paid your salary in a few months."

Yang Feng's remaining words were blocked and he couldn't say them anymore, so he just lit a cigarette and started smoking.

His partner went to another bedroom, dragged bags full of clothes out, and prepared to set up a stall on the overpass of the Grand View Garden.

He kept his mouth clean but didn't stop: "The child will take the college entrance examination next year, and he will have to prepare at least 10,000 yuan for tuition and living expenses."

"I know, I know." Yang Feng couldn't continue to remain silent, and spit out a cigarette, and said helplessly: "Just pretend you have saved up at the unit, and you will come out together..."

His partner said again: "Don't even want to come out. I heard that Jufengde is carrying out shareholding reform. Taifengyuan will not die and may collapse at any time."

Yang Feng waved his hand: "Why don't you expect something?"

His partner packed up his things and said, "If you are fine, go to the stall with me."

In the past two years, it was necessary to ask Yang Feng to do this, but in recent years, the salary has been difficult. Many times, I rely on my partner’s income to set up street stalls to maintain daily household income. I felt guilty and often went to help.

If you don’t have money in your pocket, you will naturally not be able to stand up. For the sake of life, you will naturally have to put your face back.

Yang Feng said: "I have something to do in the afternoon, and Lao Zhong from the Grain Bureau made an appointment with me to meet."

"Old Zhong..." His partner remembered this person: "He is the section chief of the Grain Bureau, and Taifeng Garden is not a subordinate of the Grain Bureau? Please ask him if he can be transferred to it?"

Yang Feng shook his head: "It's easy to get off the top, but it's difficult to get off the bottom! Let me ask."

Seeing that the time was about to be around, his partner was about to go out, so Yang Feng also went out together and helped him carry the package into the tricycle downstairs.

In addition to his partner, there are many people riding various tricycles to set up stalls on the Red Brick Tower.

Yang Feng picked up his coat pocket, walked towards the north step by step, entered a newly opened cafe north of Ganshi Bridge, and met an acquaintance Lao Zhong.

"Old Yang, introduce two friends to you."

On the table, two women, one tall and one short, were sitting. The tall one was wearing a suit and was a little sturdy, while the short one was not even 1.6 meters tall, and the thin one was thin. It was estimated that they didn’t even have eighty kilograms, and the wind could blow away.

Something happened today, Lao Zhong said before, and Yang Feng was a little aware of it, but he didn't expect that the two young girls came here.

Lao Zhong introduced: "Lao Yang, this is Xu Man, this is Xue Tian, ​​they are both executives of Lu's catering company."

Yang Feng quickly shook hands with someone: "Hello."

These two women are obviously mainly short Xu Man. The first impression she left on Yang Feng was quite deep, mainly because her mouth was a bit crooked when she smiled.

Xu Man smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Yang."

When Xue Tian also said hello, Lao Zhong took out his cell phone and said, "I have something to do, go and make a call."

With the recommendation of an acquaintance, Lao Zhong, Xu Man and Xue Tian have at least considerable credibility.

Lao Zhong, who was the middleman, left, and the two sides were silent for a while.

Xu Man deals with people in the company and speaks first: "Teacher Yang, Xue Tian and I are here on behalf of the Lu's Catering Company this time."

She was no longer a simple student before, and she had a compliment without blushing her face and heartbroken: "In the Quannan catering industry, Teacher Yang is a pillar-like figure. In Qingzhao University Town, we often hear some gourmets mention Teacher Yang from Taifeng Garden, and this time we came here."

Yang Feng’s restaurant and home are two points and one at a distance all day long. Sometimes he has to go to help his partner set up a street stall. He has vaguely heard of the name of Lu’s catering, but he can’t remember what the company does and which stores it has opened for a while.

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it." Yang Feng waved his hand modestly: "Quannan chefs are emerging one after another. My skills are nothing, and I have benefited from the older generation in my family."

If his father hadn't retired early and allowed him to take up his post to Taifeng Garden, he might not have even been in the staffing for the rest of his life.

Xu Man tilted his mouth again and got to the point: "Teacher Yang, although our Lu's Catering is a new company, it has developed very fast. It is currently the largest chain catering company in Taidong..."

Xue Tian cooperated with a tacit understanding and took out the introduction information of the Lu family's catering that he had prepared long ago and placed it in front of Yang Feng.

I knew where the goal was early, and Lu's Catering would naturally not fight unprepared wars. Xu Man said: "The cuisine research and development department of Lu's Catering has always lacked top masters with profound Chinese food background and enterprising spirit. We have learned about Teacher Yang's situation through the Grain Bureau and friends in the Quannan Catering Industry. With twelve-minute sincerity, I want to invite Teacher Yang to join Lu's Catering Company."

Yang Feng didn't say anything for the time being. After reading the information, he looked at it roughly. At the beginning, it was a bit eye-catching. This company was established in 1999. He and his old-fashioned catering industry practitioners with traditional thinking, especially chefs in the time-honored brands, all pay attention to inheritance and order. Such a new company is still a place like Qingzhao, and it is not much attractive.

But looking further, Yang Feng unconsciously dilated his pupils. In more than two years, he achieved nearly 300 chain stores, covering every city in Taidong, and also entered the markets of five provinces around Taidong. His turnover this year exceeded 100 million...

Isn't this fake?

Yang Feng rejected this idea himself because he suddenly remembered that in many places in Quannan, there were burger emperors, Lüshi hot pot and Lüshi spicy hot pot shops mentioned in the information.

It seems that there is Ximen, and my son clamored to go and eat last time.

Yang Feng followed the information above and said, "You are making fast food, and there are Western fast food. I am a restaurant chef, but they are actually two industries."

Xu Man smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, the catering industry is common. Hotpot and spicy hotpot are typical Chinese catering. Burger King looks like a Western fast food, but it is actually a localized Western fast food. Teacher Yang, have you once advocated innovation in dishes and tastes in Taifeng Garden? The R&D Department of Lu's Catering can give you the greatest freedom. If your new dishes and new flavors are suitable for market promotion, we can make them new products in the store."

Before she came, she carefully studied the relevant information collected by Xue Tian, ​​and it was all aimed at: "Lüshi Catering has completed its layout in the six identities market and is about to enter the Magic City market. It will go north, south and west next year. If you join in, people from all over the country will be able to eat your dishes in the future."

These words fell into his ears, and Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, remembering the time when he first entered Taifeng Garden to the mid-1990s.

At that time, he had a strong momentum, wanted to make some achievements, and even had plans to improve some Shandong cuisine, but the atmosphere of the public unit, coupled with the increasingly depressed business of the unit, and the pressure of life, had worn away too many ideas.

Life makes people become reality.

Let him become a person who is just like most people in the restaurant and live a life of wages.

Perhaps the only thing that I can satisfy myself is to improve the braised chicken craft handed down from home, making this dish more suitable for today's tastes.

Yang Feng believes that the seasonings on the market are constantly changing, and people's tastes are also changing, so the taste of dishes must also be adjusted. If you blindly adhere to the so-called traditional heritage and the so-called ancient secret recipes, you will only be eliminated in the end.

Just look at the time-honored hotels in Quannan. Is the service good when there were a lot of customers in the past?

Besides, even if the life of the lower class is not easy, there are not many good things to eat. People’s mouths have long been tricky. The so-called ancient formulas and tastes will have good results if they do not keep up with the development of the times?

In the past, when I stewed a chicken, I could eat it with a little bit of meaty smell.

Doing this now will definitely ruin your signature!

This person is sometimes very strange. Yang Feng is not conservative in terms of dishes, but he is very cautious in his workplace.

Xu Man looked at Yang Feng and said no more in a hurry. She saw clearly that Yang Feng is now a pure chef. He has been squatting in a unit for twenty years, and it is not easy to jump out and move.

Yang Feng quickly came to his senses, felt embarrassed to smile, and said, "What you said is too far."

Xu Man replied: "It's not far away, it will be realized next year. Teacher Yang, you are a pillar-like figure in the Quannan catering industry. You have a wide range of friends. If you ask, you will know what I said is true."

Yang Feng was silent again. Lao Zhong had known him for decades and was a reliable person. In fact, it might be that he wanted to help him.
Chapter completed!
