Unscrupulous Rebirth

The new life went smoothly, and Lu Junqiang got up early the next day to make breakfast for Lu Kunde.Lu Kunde stared at the sumptuous breakfast, dumbfounded, and asked stutteringly, "Xiao Jun... When did you... learn how to do this?"

The millet porridge that was stewed at 5 o'clock had been boiled for two hours when it was served, and the aroma was strong; the noodles that Lu Junqiang woke up in the middle of the night last night, and the freshly steamed vegetable flower rolls in the morning; the pickles of Hualizhai added sesame seeds Fried on low heat...

Lu Junqiang smiled: "I learned it from the new master Li. Brother, you will eat at home in the morning, and I will go to the restaurant after eating with you."

Lu Kunde twitched his index finger as he looked at the table of exquisite breakfasts. The teenage boy was just growing up, and the two of them emptied the table in a short while.Lu Kunde was in a hurry to go to school and left first because he couldn't go on the way. Lu Junqiang tidied up the kitchen and cleaned the house and went out.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Wu Hao and Master Li hurriedly asked Lu Junqiang why he didn't come yesterday and whether he was feeling unwell, and Lu Junqiang smiled and said he was fine.Then I cleaned up the store, it was only 8 o'clock, and the store was not busy yet, Wu Hao and Master Li were wrapping garlic and kneading noodles in the kitchen.Lu Junqiang took the menu in the restaurant and looked through it.

Lu Junqiang's small restaurant is located in the middle of several residential areas. It is small in scale and mainly serves home-cooked dishes.There are nearly ten small restaurants like his in the surrounding area, and there are two quite formal hotels that are even more incomparable. There are a large number of consumers and many competitors. If you don't earn much, you will not starve to death.

Lu Junqiang flipped through the recipes and thought, the only way to expand the scale as soon as possible is to make his own characteristics and attract more customers.But right now... Lu Junqiang took a look at the restaurant. There were four small private rooms plus a lobby, with a maximum of 12 tables.The space layout has been maximized and it is impossible to add tables in the lobby.Lu Junqiang propped his forehead with his right hand and pondered, a look that didn't match his age flashed on his face.

The first is to attract customers and improve the dishes and services in the store.The second is to open up new sales channels to encourage customers in nearby residential areas to take home and eat, and the dishes to take away will be cheaper.Every day before the peak meal time, some well-sold dishes are prepared so that guests can pack them to relieve the pressure of less seats.The third is to use the time reasonably. It will be cheaper if the packed meals are ordered half a working day in advance, so that the preparations can be started before the peak meal time, so as to save you from being too busy to pack garlic at the moment.Fourth, to expand the scale, you can contact several nearby companies to provide them with lunch boxes at noon...

Lu Junqiang's brain was running at high speed. Master Li wrapped a small basket of garlic and chopped a small basket of shallots.Walking to the side of Lu Junqiang, Master Li is a honest and reliable man who has passed his forties, and he admires Lu Junqiang, a 16-year-old little boss, very much.Lu Junqiang was respectful and polite to him. He never suspected him of stealing things from the store, and he would not default on his wages. As long as he worked too much and left work too late, there would be some compensation.Master Li has worked in many restaurants before, and there are many places with better conditions than Lu Junqiang's small restaurant, but this one is undoubtedly the most comfortable one he has managed.

Seeing the little boss sitting alone in a daze, Master Li leaned over and asked, "Little boss, what are you thinking?" Lu Junqiang looked up at Master Li, thinking that the improvement should start today.Lu Junqiang smiled at Master Li: "I looked at the recipe, and I want to discuss with you how to improve the dishes, and add a few more dishes."

Master Li is still very open-minded about cooking, and it takes a long time to sit down and chat.Lu Junqiang's detailed description of the delicacies he had tasted in the past, coupled with Master Li's culinary experience and understanding, combined two swords, and several new dishes were added in a short while.

It will be 11 o'clock soon, usually at this time, Master Li should go to the kitchen to prepare, and now he is so excited to chat that he doesn't want to go and ask Lu Junqiang for the ingredients of the Sichuan dish, Lu Junqiang laughs Smile: "That's it for today, the guests will come soon, the boiled fish we improved just now is not bad, if someone orders it later, try it, it should be fine." Master Li still has more ideas, but he also wants to try it right away As a result of the discussion just now, I agreed to go to the kitchen.

Lu Junqiang stood up and moved his hands and feet, took a rag and wiped the table and the floor again.The dishes kept up with the hardware service, so Lu Junqiang cleaned up and thought, no matter what, he had to hire another waiter.Wu Hao is not bad, he is sincere and diligent, but judging from yesterday's events, as long as he can't come, he will definitely not be able to keep busy, let alone expand the scale.Just wait a little longer, Lu Junqiang thought, until the business in the store improves.

After a busy noon, the improved dishes were well received by the guests.Master Li couldn't be more happy, but Lu Junqiang wasn't much better. Everything was expected. The guests who came to eat here were looking for convenience and cheapness. The clean environment and excellent dishes were an extra bonus. Of course, the guests were satisfied.

According to this, there was no big effect a few days ago, but within a week, there were too many customers to sit down. Lu Junqiang didn't expect repeat customers to solicit customers so quickly, so he hurriedly asked Wu Hao to move a lot of chairs from the small warehouse. .It is not enough to add a table.Lu Junqiang kept smiling and apologizing to the customers, and asked them if they could take them away, which would be cheaper. Many people readily agreed and insisted on waiting in the store. Lu Junqiang moved stools for them and provided tea for free.

The business in the store has prospered a lot, and Lu Junqiang's next plan is about to start, recruiting people.For half a month in a row, he cooked for Lu Kunde early and then went out. He kept busy until night, and sometimes he could not go home until almost 10 o'clock.The time spent with Lu Kunde every day is too short, and it's useless to make more money if you can't develop a relationship with your brother as soon as possible.Lu Junqiang couldn't begrudge the money to hire a few more waiters, the loss outweighed the gain.

Lu Junqiang found a large piece of paper, wrote "recruitment" crookedly, and posted it.On the same day, a cashier at the front desk was summoned, named Li Qing, who was Master Li's niece. The little girl retired from high school and never found a suitable job. Master Li interceded when Lu Junqiang was recruiting and let her work as a cashier.Although Lu Junqiang didn't go to school much, he was always very strict in accounting and accounting, and he was not afraid of others messing with the accounts, so he sold Master Li's favor.Another suitable boy was recruited the next day.The applicant was a young man under 20 years old, named Song Xiaobo.My family is out of town, and I came here to work with my relatives.He is a simple person who doesn't like to talk, and his hands and feet are diligent enough. Lu Junqiang was really anxious to hire someone, and he was officially hired after three days of probation.After being busy for almost a month, it finally got on the right track, and the business was still far from what Lu Junqiang envisioned, but there was not enough money, so it could only run like this in the short term.

Lu Junqiang sat in the lobby and exhaled. This month's workload is too heavy, and this 16-year-old body is a bit too much.Lu Junqiang was addicted to cigarettes, and there were few people in the store at the moment, so Lu Junqiang went out for a stroll to a small supermarket next to the store.

All the shops nearby know this capable little boss, and Lu Junqiang is handsome, so everyone in this street knows him.Seeing Lu Junqiang coming in, the proprietress of the supermarket stood up and smiled, "The little boss is here, is the store busy today?"

Lu Junqiang smiled and said, "You're teasing me again, so what... get me a pack of cigarettes."

No matter how young you are, you are an adult when you enter the society.Coupled with Lu Junqiang's tall stature, mature words and deeds, he looked like an adult, the proprietress didn't make a fuss, and asked with a smile: "What do you smoke?"

Just as Lu Junqiang was about to say something, he looked at the sign in the window, endured it, and said, "Hardman, 2 yuan 5, right?"

The proprietress smiled kindly, and said, "It's only the old men who pick this one up. You don't have the spare money, why should you smoke this one?"

Lu Junqiang smiled: "I don't have this spare money, so I can afford this." He took out the money and took one.Lu Junqiang smoked two cigarettes in a row before he recovered his strength. He didn't smoke much before, and with Lu Kunde in charge, he only smoked one secretly when he was very tired.Lu Junqiang looked at the cigarette case in his hand and laughed at himself, but he had never smoked such a thing.

Lu Junqiang hid the remaining cigarettes in the shop, and after smelling and smelling to make sure that there was no smell of cigarettes on him, he went home.

Lu Junqiang has been so busy recently that his feet don't touch the ground, and Lu Kunde doesn't care. Instead, he is happy that his brother's business is doing well.When Lu Junqiang came home and saw Lu Kunde cooking instant noodles reciting words, he went over and turned off the fire and poured the noodles down, and coaxed Lu Kunde into the study, who was shouting for waste.There were not many ingredients at home. Fortunately, Lu Junqiang had already eaten in the store, and the leftovers were more than enough for Lu Kunde to cook. Recently, he had a lot of discussions with Master Li, and Lu Junqiang's cooking has improved a lot.

Lu Kunde sighed after eating the dinner that Lu Junqiang carefully prepared: "Xiao Jun is really working so hard."

Looking at his brother's happy little face, Lu Junqiang couldn't resist rubbing his hands, and said with a smile: "It's not hard, the store has recruited two more people, and I basically don't do anything, just do odd jobs. I can do it from tomorrow. I cook for my brother every day."

Lu Kunde drank the soup in small sips, and said vaguely: "No need, I can just buy something next to the school, it is cheap and convenient, less than 10 yuan a day..."

Lu Junqiang said helplessly: "Brother, when will you get rid of the problem of being a money fanatic? The food you bought is not nutritious, but is it hygienic? My brother owns a restaurant, and my brother wants to eat those messy things. Is it decent?"

Lu Kunde swallowed his last mouthful and still wanted to defend himself. Lu Junqiang smiled and pulled him into the study, "You don't need to worry about these things. Your most important thing now is the college entrance examination. Just look at your ABC." Lu Kunde stared Wanting to teach Lu Junqiang how disobedient, Lu Junqiang simply lay on Lu Kunde's body, and said softly, "Brother...I'm not tired at all..."

Hearing what his younger brother said, Lu Kunde felt even more sad. He rubbed Lu Junqiang's hair, then rubbed his face in disbelief, and said in a low voice, "Brother listens to you, I won't trouble you."

Lu Junqiang couldn't help laughing, his brother has always been like this, as long as he persists and shows weakness a little, he will definitely compromise... And the previous self, relying on his brother's guilt and affection for him, has been pressing forward every step of the way, even once It made my brother almost collapse at one time...

Lu Junqiang closed his eyes, he must never treat his brother like this again.

Lu Junqiang's head was still resting on Lu Kunde's shoulder. Lu Kunde wondered why his younger brother suddenly acted like a baby to him. Thinking that it was not easy for his younger brother to start a business at such a young age, he rubbed his younger brother's face and let him rest on his body. So, took a reference book in one hand and started to do the questions.

Lu Kunde opened his eyes and looked at Lu Kunde's serious and focused face... Once in their bedroom, Lu Junqiang used to lean on Lu Kunde's back to watch him read like this. At that time, Lu Junqiang would always get mad and touch Lu Kunde's chest for a while, After a while pinched Lu Kunde's face.It was the same with Lu Kunde at that time, holding Lu Junqiang's bad hand with one hand, and continued to flip through the book with the other hand...

From then on, whenever Lu Junqiang was torn apart by memories and reality, he would look at his unknowing lover in front of him to comfort him---they were so, so happy.

As long as you are still alive, everything is still too late, everything is too late.
