Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

Now he finally understood the true meaning of the phrase that Fatty often said: "Those who open restaurants are businessmen and those who cook are workers, how can that be the same?"

Take Shazhu for example, he is just a part-time worker.

Yan Jiecheng and his wife provided him with a workplace and raw materials, and gave him a salary of 2000 yuan a month;

As for him, he just wants to cook up delicious dishes and make the Chunfeng Food Stall prosperous again.

Other things like costs and profits are not things he needs to consider.

Tell me something disturbing.

Beijing is not a coastal city. Due to transportation constraints, most of the seafood coming in is frozen.

Take shrimps, which are most commonly used in restaurants, as an example. They come in frozen, and a pack weighs a pound.

But after taking it out and defrosting, there were only 6 taels left. Shazhu used 4 taels for cooking, but Yan Jiecheng came to take a look and asked him: "Why are there only 1 taels left in 2 catty of shrimps?"

He almost didn’t say it openly that Shazhu cheated him with 4 taels of shrimps. Shazhu was so angry that he almost gave up the job!

Could he not know what happened to the goods Yan Jiecheng purchased?

What does this mean? It means that Yan Jiecheng is starting to think Silly Zhu Gui is too expensive...

This second thing comes to the third uncle.

Silly Zhu can't deal with him! We haven’t dealt with him since 65. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we are enemies.

The third uncle has been angry with Sha Zhu all these years, and now he has finally made a fortune, and he feels that he is also prosperous.

Especially after understanding what doing business is all about, I don't want to see Silly Zhu anymore.

Three-legged toads are hard to find. Are two-legged cooks dissatisfied that the streets are full of them?

Silly Zhu, how can he cook if he is so stupid?

The third uncle went to Yan Jiecheng to discuss: "Boss, your money doesn't come from the strong wind, so you have to live a careful life."

Yan Jiecheng was very impatient: "Dad, just say what you want to say, I'm busy."

The third uncle was so angry: "I'm talking about Silly Zhu! Good guy, why does he earn our family 2000 yuan a month?"

Yan Jiecheng said continuously: "Stop, stop, it's me who pays Shazhu's salary, it has nothing to do with you. So you just don't care about my affairs, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Hey, it’s the same again! Why doesn't he understand? What level of education do you have, do you dare to pretend to be an educated person like me?

This is not to say that Yan Jiecheng has a long-term vision, otherwise he would not be able to do stupid things in the TV series.

It's just that he and Yan Jiedui are currently working together. The new store has almost been decorated, and they are just waiting to count the days to move.

Catering people are actually most taboo about moving restaurants, especially some old restaurants. Before the move, they were full every day, and there were always queues outside;

Once the move was completed, there were not even 1% of the original customers. It was like opening a new store and trying to regain its popularity.

There are of course many reasons, but one of the main reasons is: laziness.

Customers are lazy.

Especially under the premise that the location of the old hotel was very advantageous, now you ask him to go all the way to eat, but he is not willing to go.

Where can I put it without eating it?

Therefore, now Yan Jiecheng not only cannot leave Si Zhu, but also wants to win over him as much as possible.

Their "Chunfeng Hotel" still cannot do without him.

But the third uncle didn't understand this. Yan Jiecheng didn't listen to him, so he went it alone.

When he got off work in the evening, the third uncle blocked Si Zhu at the courtyard gate again.

Silly Zhu annoyed him and ignored him at all.

Just as he was walking towards the courtyard gate, the third uncle stopped him: "Silly Zhu!"

Silly Zhutou didn't even look back, so the third uncle became anxious: "Hey, Silly Zhu, why are you so proud? You are just a dog raised by our family!"

Silly Zhu got angry: "What are you talking about? You're looking for a beating, right! Okay, you're seventy or eighty years old, I don't dare to hit you, but you have a son, just wait for me, I'll go find Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang tomorrow The two brothers talked about each other."

It’s true that the third uncle is [-] years old, aren’t you fifty too, Silly Zhu?

Why do you take action even if you disagree with me?

The third uncle was not used to his bad habits and said in an arrogant manner: "Silly Zhu, I will let the boss fire you later! I don't believe it anymore. Is there any other place that is willing to pay 2000 yuan a month for a stupid cook like you?" salary!"

"..."

Speaking of Silly Zhu, he had entered the great sage mode and his mind was particularly clear at the moment.

Each and every incident went through his mind like a movie.

In the past, Silly Zhu would never consider his character.

But after meeting Ran Qiuye again and recognizing his son, spending this time together really made him understand some of his personality problems.

Old, old, if his character remains the same, then this person is too short-sighted.

Silly Zhu began to seriously consider what would happen if he really stopped working at Yan's house and went to work elsewhere.

First of all, the salary of 2000 yuan is too high, and few companies can afford it.

Unless it's those big hotels or restaurants. But people in these places really look down on him!

This is also the truth that Shazhu figured out after Fatty became a disciple of Mr. Lu Xingbang.

With the fat man's ability, Huai and Lu can hold each other in arms.

The so-called "two-door embrace" is derived from the terminology of opera, which means that a character can play two roles in different professions; or a role in a certain opera can be played by actors from different professions.

Just like Lu Wenlong in "The Eight Hammers", he can be played by either Xiaosheng or Wusheng.

Another example is "Yanyang Tower", which has two versions: Wu Sheng and Wu Jing.

The fat man is already so capable, why do he still want to take Lu Xingbang as his teacher?

It's what the old man said back then: "You and I are a circle of people; you and me are a family that has been passed down from generation to generation."

It's not like what some idiots outside say, saying that fat people go up poles to kneel and lick people.

Silly Zhu now understands that even though he is also a cook and has a certain reputation, if you are not from this circle, people will not use you.

Just like when he was young, he worked as a waiter in Fengze Garden and Hongbin Building; later he went to pickle factory and noodle shop to learn crafts...

But in the end he ended up working as a chef at the Red Star Factory.

He has no connections, and he won’t be able to do anything, so people don’t want him.

Secondly, even if Shazhu is willing to lower his salary to cook in a small restaurant similar to Dongfeng Food Stalls.

Will they interfere in his kitchen, will they give him instructions on how to cook, will they let him substandard products, etc. These are all questions!

"..."

So I don't want to be upset, but I also want to get such a high salary. In fact, the only way left is to go out and work alone.

But there is no one available!

Don't get me wrong, Shazhu has no shortage of chefs. He has also brought out many apprentices over the years, like MCA and others, and asked them to be laid off and come to follow him, which is just a matter of words. Silly Zhu still has this bit of confidence.

What he lacks is people like Yu Li, like Yan Jiecheng, and no longer like Liu Lan and Fat Aunt!

He is someone who knows business, is good at management, and can perfectly shuttle between the kitchen and the front office.
