Chapter 211 Aimed at the beef bone soup hot pot
The Laoliu Spicy Crayfish chain store has developed at an extremely fast pace without shortage of funds and manpower. By the end of September, the Laoliu Spicy Crayfish chain store has a total of 2,431 branches across the country, and this number is still soaring.
However, although the old Liu spicy crayfish chain is developing rapidly, it is still a big gap from the goal set by Liu Xiahui. Therefore, the current staff will definitely not be able to take care of anything else until the layout of the spicy crayfish chain is completed next year.
Also, with the rapid development of its industries, the group's logistics and distribution centers must also accelerate their development.
In addition, Liu Xiahui cannot wait until the Laoliu spicy crayfish chain store completes its layout before starting to develop other industries, so it is imperative to recruit workers on a large scale again.
Liu Xiahui was handed over to General Manager He Hongwen for this matter, while he returned to Baizhou County and was preparing to talk to those beef bone soup bosses who had been operating for several years to more than ten years.
The chain industry that Liu Xiahui wants to develop next is this beef bone soup hotpot. This is considered a special diet in Baizhou County and is more suitable for the flavors of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. If it becomes a chain hotpot restaurant, it should have a market.
So, at the end of September, Liu Xiahui took the driver back to Baizhou County.
...
There are five beef bone soup hotpots in Baizhou County, one is located on Park Road, one is located on Wuli Temple, two are located in Xinglong Market, and one is located next door to Laoliu Spicy Chicken Pot. Later, I couldn't stand it and moved to the Nancheng Market.
Among these five beef bone soup hotpot restaurants, the oldest and most authentic one is one of the two beef bone soup hotpot restaurants opened in Xinglong Market. The owner is named Lu Kaicheng.
Tonight, Lu Kaicheng started business at 7 o'clock as usual. As soon as his wife and he put the tables and chairs in place, a customer came to the door.
"Boss Lu, cut me two pounds of beef ingredients!"
"Okay, wait!"
When Lu Kaicheng spoke, he looked up and saw a familiar and handsome face. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted, "Boss Liu, why are you here?"
As a legendary figure in the catering industry in Baizhou, Lu Kaicheng is naturally familiar with him, knowing that he has long been no longer limited to Baizhou County, but has gone to the wider market outside to work hard.
Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "Why, Boss Lu doesn't welcome me?"
Lu Kaicheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Boss Liu is joking. It is my honor to visit my small shop. How could he not welcome it!"
Liu Xiahui laughed and said, "I haven't tasted your beef bone soup for a long time. I've cut two pounds of beef ingredients for me first. If Boss Lu has time, then let's sit down and have two drinks. I'm just about to talk to you about it if I have something to do!"
"Okay, then Boss Liu, please sit first, I'll be here soon!"
After saying that, Lu Kaicheng began to cut the beef ingredients quickly, while his wife brought Liu Xiahui disposable bowls and beer.
The beef bone soup hotpot in Baizhou County, also known as beef hotpot, is the most popular among customers. The soup with extremely authentic taste, which is a soup carefully made with beef bones and various beef ingredients.
Many customers come for this soup, order a pound of one and a half pound of beef ingredients, and then the soup can be added indefinitely. This is really a very cost-effective thing for customers who like to drink soup.
Beef stock is a general term for many parts of the beef body. The most popular ones are beef tendons, beef tripe, beef intestines, beef loafs, and beef are all for tendons. Beef without tendons is not very popular among customers.
The boss of these beef ingredients has stewed for 70% or 80 minutes. After cutting the beef ingredients and bringing them to the hot pot, guests can drink a bowl of steaming and delicious soup first. When the soup is almost done, the beef ingredients cooked in the hot pot can basically be eaten.
In his previous life, Liu Xiahui came to eat beef hotpot with his friends many times, but he came less after he was reborn.
When Liu Xiahui served a bowl of soup for him, Lu Kaicheng threw the remaining preparations to his wife, then came over and sat opposite Liu Xiahui and poured himself a glass of beer.
The two silently picked up the wine glasses and clinked them, and then drank the beer in the glass in one go.
"Boss Liu, your business is getting bigger and bigger now. I heard that it has developed into Guangdong Province?" Lu Kaicheng asked while pouring wine for Liu Xiahui.
Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "Boss Lu, your news is already an old calendar. I set up a spicy crayfish chain store some time ago, and the branches have been opened all over the country!"
Lu Kaicheng was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a shocked look: "It's so amazing. I have been doing the beef bone soup business here in the 1980s and 1990s. I have been doing this beef bone soup business for fifteen years and I am still guarding such a store like before. Unlike Boss Liu, you have done your business all over the country in just a few years. It's really admirable!"
Liu Xiahui smiled modestly and said, "I'm just a little more lucky!"
Lu Kaicheng picked up the beer and met Liu Xiahui, and said, "Boss Liu, don't be humble. Now who doesn't know Boss Liu, your name is Boss Liu. From a white-cut stall to this point today, this is not something that luck can explain."
After saying that, he raised his head and dried the beer in the glass!
Liu Xiahui also killed the beer and asked with a smile: "Boss Lu, are you interested in following me?"
Lu Kaicheng was stunned and said, "Boss Liu, aren't you kidding?"
"Boss Lu, it's really not to be hiding. This time I went back to the county town to integrate the beef bone soup resources in our county town, and then carry forward the beef bone soup hotpot and promote it to Guangdong Province!"
While pouring wine for him, Liu Xiahui said, "I know Boss Lu, you have made beef bone soup for more than ten years. You have your own unique recipe for how to make beef bone soup so that it tastes good. So I want to offer a high price to invite Boss Lu as the chief steward, and be responsible for training batches of qualified beef bone soup masters for me."
Lu Kaicheng asked in surprise: "Boss Liu, what do you mean is to let me teach the technique of making beef bone soup?"
Liu Xiahui nodded and said, "No, and I will also talk to the bosses of several other beef bone soups to let you share this soup making technique and see if you can make a better beef bone soup based on this.
Of course, I won’t let you work in vain. I will definitely give you good treatment. I dare not say that there are too many, at least I earn much more than you can open a store yourself.”
Lu Kaicheng was moved when he heard this. Although many customers thought that his beef bone soup was the best, the taste of the other four stores was not much worse than that of his. If it weren't for regular customers, they wouldn't be able to distinguish it at all.
In other words, the technical gap between this soup is very small and is not a unique secret recipe.
I believe that the ability of Boss Liu in front of me is obvious to all the colleagues in the catering industry in Baizhou County. It may be really good to follow him. Anyway, he is in his forties, and the idea of making his own beef bone soup business bigger and stronger was extinguished a few years ago.
Since Boss Liu is willing to spend a lot of money to hire him and several other beef bone soup bosses, what reason does Lu Kaicheng have to refuse to agree?
Thinking of this, Lu Kaicheng said with interest: "Boss Liu, I am very interested in your proposal. As long as I have a guaranteed income, I am very happy to communicate with other colleagues about soup making techniques."
Liu Xiahui laughed and said, "Don't worry, Boss Lu, I'll ask you a prudently, how much does this beef bone soup shop you run now have per month?"
If someone else asked, Lu Kaicheng might say a relatively conservative number and would definitely not say the real income. However, it was Liu Xiahui who asked about it, and this income was related to his next income, so Lu Kaicheng naturally could not hide it.
So, Lu Kaicheng said with some serene satisfaction: "The average monthly income this year is about 17,000 yuan."
Liu Xiahui praised: "Boss Lu's business is indeed doing well. I will give you a salary of 30,000 yuan a month. When I invite several other beef bone soup bosses, you will be responsible for batches of training soup cookers.
Another important task is to innovate the technology of this beef bone soup. As long as you can successfully make a more delicious beef bone soup, I will definitely give you a generous cash reward!"
Lu Kaicheng was delighted when he heard this. He had a salary of 30,000 yuan per month, and there was no one else in this salary.
You should know that he and his wife worked hard and earned only 17,000 yuan in a month. And they only earned this year, and they did not have such a high profit in previous years.
As long as you follow Boss Liu, you will have a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan. The most important thing is that your wife can be liberated.
In addition, he heard what Boss Liu said, his main responsibility is the soup making technology. He does not have to rely on himself for every link from source to sales like he does when doing business.
In other words, helping Boss Liu work, he is at least several times more idle than before.
In your spare time, you can also communicate with other colleagues to make soup techniques. Once you can develop a more delicious beef bone soup than you currently have, you can get a generous cash reward. This treatment is so good that Lu Kaicheng has nothing to say.
Therefore, Lu Kaicheng agreed happily.
Next, the two of them talked about some details while eating and drinking. It was not until Lu Kaicheng's business became busy that Liu Xiahui said goodbye and left.
When checking out, Lu Kaicheng said that he would not accept the money.
Anyway, it was only a few dozen yuan, so Liu Xiahui didn't care, so he walked straight to another beef bone soup shop with a distance of less than 100 meters.
When Liu Xiahui left, Lu Kaicheng told his wife with excitement, and finally said with deep emotion: "Wife, thank you for so many years. Once this matter is implemented, you will be really idle. You don't have to follow me all day long like now, without having to spend any private time!"
His wife was naturally very happy when she heard this, and she was also very motivated to work.
...
The next day.
Five beef bone soup owners, Lu Kaicheng, Chi Yuhua, Ma Yourong, He Huaicheng, and Tan Zhicai, gathered at the Liufu Hotel.
After one interview last night, the five people agreed to come to Liu Xiahui for a meal. Boss Liu was too generous and gave the five people a monthly salary of basically between 20,000 and 30,000.
All five of them are very satisfied with this job that is easier and more stable than doing business.
After all, they are not newcomers who are just starting to enter the industry and have a good time. They still have a sense of what they have done after so many years of business.
"Several masters, since you have come to work under my hands, it's time to deal with your beef bone soup shop. You can let your relatives and friends take over, or let me take over. This is all a trivial matter." Liu Xiahui said.
Lu Kaicheng said: "Boss, please take over!"
The other people also agreed. Although the boss didn't care about it, they should not be greedy.
Liu Xiahui nodded and said, "Okay, Qian will settle with you again. Next, you will keep the business as it is. I will arrange someone to take over as soon as possible. After someone replaces you, you can gather together to study how to make this beef bone soup more delicious."
Tan Zhicai said with a longing look on his face: "I have been looking forward to this for a long time, especially Boss Lu's beef bone soup is the best. I have long wanted to find an opportunity to share my experience with Boss Lu."
Chi Yuhua also smiled and said, "Boss Lu is the first person in the beef bone soup restaurant in our county. At that time, I was interested in beef bone soup cooked by Boss Lu. Later, after a long period of research, I don't know how many soup methods have been changed to have the taste like today, so I have wanted to communicate with Boss Lu for a long time!"
Ma Yourong and He Huaicheng also praised Lu Kaicheng for a few words.
After all, Lu Kaicheng is the pioneer of Baizhou County's beef bone soup, and the beef bone soup he made is also deeply loved by old customers. Whether it is out of respect for his predecessors or respect for technology, they should have such an attitude.
As the saying goes, people are holding people in their flower sedan chairs. Lu Kaicheng is still a person in his forties. Naturally, it is impossible for his peers to praise him without knowing the east, west, south and north. He also humbly praised the four people for a few words.
Seeing that several people get along well, Liu Xiahui nodded secretly and asked, "Masters, this shouldn't be difficult to make beef bone soup? With your personal teachings, how long will it take for your colleagues to learn?"
Lu Kaicheng replied in contemplation: "This is not difficult. If you study it carefully, you should be able to learn it in one day!"
Chi Yuhua nodded and affirmed: "If you are with me, you will learn it in one day. After all, the most important thing in making beef bone soup is those technical nodes. If you are allowed to study this thing yourself, you may not be able to study it for a year or two. But if you put it bluntly, it will be like that, and it will not be difficult to learn it!"
Several other people also expressed their approval. This thing is like a mathematical formula. It is very simple to learn to use it, but if you ask you to create a formula, it will be hard to think about it and feel your scalp numb!
"If this is the case, it will be simple. I will arrange someone to replace you first. Your next task is to combine your respective strengths and make beef bone soup that is more delicious than it is now!"
"Okay, boss!"
