During the wedding holiday, Tong Xuelu didn't go busy with the shop. She and Wen Rugui walked around these two days.

I went to climb the Great Wall together the day before yesterday, and visited the Forbidden City and museums yesterday. Basically, I went around Beijing.

Tong Xuelu also thought about whether to take a short-term domestic tour, but the time is too rush, it is better not to have fun.

As long as two people stay together, it doesn't really matter where they go.

Today they didn't go out, stayed at home to serve the flowers and plants, and then they cooked together and cooked a table of good dishes.

The pig intestines are washed with coarse salt and starch, so that they are clean and tasteless, and then add red pepper, ginger, garlic and green onions and stir-fry together.

The prepared pig intestines are spicy and refreshing, crispy and delicious, and the more you chew, the more flavorful they are.

Commander Xiao had a special liking for this dish, a sip of wine and a sip of pig intestines, it was delicious.

In addition to pig intestines, Tong Xuelu also made steamed pork.

Cut the pork into long strips and marinate it with sauce, then stir-fry the rice until it turns yellow. Add cloves, star anise and cinnamon and continue to stir fry. After frying, grind the rice into powder to make five-spice rice noodles.

Then coat the marinated pork evenly with five-spice rice noodles, put the cut pumpkin on the plate, and then spread the pork on top and put it in the steamer for steaming.

In less than a few minutes, the water boiled, wisps of scent came out from the steamer hole, and the charming scent filled the entire kitchen.

The steamed pork is soft and fragrant, soft and glutinous, fat but not greasy. The outer layer of rice noodles makes the taste more layered, and the rich fragrance jumps in the mouth, making people want to eat it.

Mr. Wen and Uncle Zong prefer steamed meat, but Commander Xiao laughed at them for their lack of mouth.

How could Old Man Wen let him "slander" himself so easily, so he quarreled while eating delicious food, and it was too lively.

Wen Rugui likes to eat fish, so this dish must be on the table.

Tong Xuelu fry the fish until golden on both sides, and then pour into a small glass of wine to improve the smell. The aroma of the wine blends into the fish, and the aroma rises with the smoke.

Immediately pour into the spring water brought back from the mountain. When the water boils, a pot of delicious fish soup is ready. The creamy white fish soup is fragrant and sprinkled with chopped green onion. The color and fragrance are delicious.

The holidays passed so fast that he couldn't bring up the thought of separating from her.

But at this moment he smelled a strong scent, and his appetite was immediately appetizing. He scooped a bowl for her and then he also scooped a bowl for himself.

The spring water is sweet and the fish soup made is more delicious than the fish soup made with ordinary tap water.

When Mr. Wen saw Commander Xiao eating a sip of wine and a sip of pig intestines, he suddenly became addicted to alcohol.

"Xiaozong, pour me a glass of wine too. Today is in a good mood. Let's have a drink together."

But Uncle Zong didn't have time to answer, so he listened to Wen Ruhui: "Uncle Zong, don't listen to Grandpa. The doctor said he can't drink."

Old man Wen was suddenly so angry that his beard shook and flicked, and he argued for reason: "...If you don't have a cup, that half will do."

Wen Rugui: "Grandpa, the doctor said it won't do even a bite."

Old man Wen's face is even more ugly, and he looks like an old cucumber: "You are an unfilial grandson!"

Tong Xuelu picked him up with chopsticks and said, "Grandpa, if you go home, it's for your own good not to let you drink. You can eat more vegetables."

Old man Wen changed his face in a second, picked up the green vegetables and said: "It's the grandson and daughter-in-law who treats me well."

Wen Rugui: "..."

Uncle Zong: "..."

Commander Xiao watched Tong Xuelu give Mr. Wen some vegetables, so he looked at her expectantly.

Tong Xuelu had to hurriedly pick up vegetables for him.

Wei Zhuzhu ignored the situation on the table, feasting, almost eating his tongue.

Seeing that she had eaten two whole bowls, Tong Jiaxin felt painful in her heart.

I thought that it was right to be a bachelor. If you marry a wife like Wei Zhuzhu, you will definitely be poor.

After eating, Xiao Mianmian took her sister's hand and asked, "Sister, if the hair lice is not cured, will you die?"

Tong Xuelu was startled and looked at her hair: "What? You have lice again?"

Thinking of how she had got lice more than two years ago, the goose bumps on her arm couldn't help falling to the ground.

Xiao Mianmian shook his head: "No, I'll just ask, some of the classmates in sister Zhuzhu's class have lice."

Tong Xuelu became more worried when she heard the words. She pulled her to the light and pulled her hair away. After a careful examination, she was relieved that there were no lice.

"Lice will not kill people, but the scalp will be very itchy, and the lice will **** blood from the scalp, so if you have a lice, you must quickly treat it."

Xiao Mianmian pursed her lips when she heard that there will be no death, "I know, I will tell Sister Zhuzhu when I turn around."

Tong Xuelu didn't pay attention to her small expression: "Looking back, I have to tell Zhuzhu not to get too close to that classmate, so as not to be infected again."

"I see, sister."

The Wen Xiao family was in harmony, but Shi Xingrui cried all the way home alone.

Aunt Lin, a distant relative who helped take care of her next door, saw her come back crying, and quickly asked: "What's wrong with you, Xiao Rui? Did you fall down?"

Shi Xingrui glanced at her impatiently: "No!"

Aunt Lin: "Isn't that what happened? Could it be a fight with classmates?"

Shi Xingrui was very annoyed by the question: "Why are you so long-winded? I'm hungry and I want to eat."

Aunt Lin was so angry that she almost didn't come up: "Your parents will leave you to my care. Of course I will take care of you. Otherwise, how can I explain to them when your parents come back?"

Shi Xingrui akimbo her hands, staring at her eyes: "Who told you to take care of me? You just took my parents' money to take care of me. You'd better give me nosy!"

Aunt Lin was poked and the tube almost burst.

She and Cheng Xiuyun’s mother have kinship relationships. Cheng Xiuyun usually speaks softly and politely and knows how to be a human being. So when she said that she wanted to go to Shenzhen with Shi Xiuneng to get some goods, let her take care of it. When Shi Xingrui, she agreed without thinking.

Who knows that Cheng Xiuyun will be a human being, but her daughter Shi Xingrui's personality is not like her at all, she is domineering and rude, and she regards herself as her little ancestor!

Aunt Lin made up her mind and never cares about the bad things of the historians in the future.

Aunt Lin became angry, and then she did not take care of Shi Xingrui as much as before. As a result, Shi Xingrui had lice on her head and no one noticed it.

**

Wen Rugui went back to the base the next day, and Tong Xuelu began to devote her energy to the store.

The shop at the back of the school had been renovated, and Tong Xuelu began to look for someone who could help. She was the first to think of the people in Dongfeng Hotel.

So after sending Wen Rugui into the car, she went directly to the Dongfeng Hotel.

Because it was still morning, there were no guests at Dongfeng Hotel when it opened.

The hotel manager took the waiter who replaced Wu Lizhu to buy ingredients. At this time, the only people in the hotel were Master Meng, Guo Weiping and Guo Chunyu.

Seeing Tong Xuelu coming over, Guo Chunyu and others were taken aback.

"Manager Tong, why are you here?"

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Sister Chunyu should call my name. I am no longer a manager."

When she said this, she glanced at the restaurant. The hygiene of the restaurant was far worse than when she was a manager, and a thick layer of dust piled up in the corners and windows.

Perceiving Tong Xuelu's gaze, Guo Chunyu lowered his voice and said, "It's not that we don't clean, but the current manager says that it is enough to wipe once every six months."

Tong Xuelu was noncommittal: "Master Meng is inside, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, Master Meng wiped his hands and walked out: "Xuelu, are you here?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Master Meng, please sit down. I came over today and want to discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

"I opened a shop on the school side, and I will open another big restaurant later. I am in urgent need of manpower now. I don't know if you would like to go and help me?"

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and the lobby was so quiet that needles could be heard.

Tong Xuelu glanced at the three of them, and continued: "If you are willing to help me in the past, my salary will be 10 yuan more than your current salary, and this is just the basic salary. If the hotel's performance is good in the future, , I will also give you bonuses."

If they heard what Tong Xuelu said just now, the three of them were thinking about how to tactfully refuse, but when they heard the salary, they were swallowed abruptly.

Wealth is touching.

Guo Chunyu licked his lips and broke the silence and said: "Manager Tong, how do you count the bonus? Is it for a period of time, or will it be the same in the future?"

Tong Xuelu: "The bonus algorithm is linked to the turnover of the hotel. The more the turnover of the month, the more your bonus will be. The specific amount. If you agree, I will compare it according to your position and ability. Sign a contract with you after the probation period."

Guo Chunyu frowned: "What is that, why do you want to sign that kind of thing?"

Tong Xuelu explained: "The contract is equivalent to a contract. If you buy a house with someone and have a real estate certificate, then you work for me, and I naturally have to protect your rights."

"In addition to bonuses, there will also be holiday benefits during the New Year holidays. Two days of holidays are tentatively scheduled for each month. Think about it."

The three Guo Chunyu see me and I see you, and they all see the heartbeat in each other's eyes.

This treatment is much better than Dongfeng Hotel.

In addition to a lot of money, there are still two days of holidays each month. You must know that they are now almost open year-round except for festivals such as the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival.

Sometimes when something happens at home, you have to ask for leave. Asking for leave means that you have to deduct money. It hurts and you don't have to rest for a long time, so your body really can't bear it.

But the three of them did not respond immediately.

After all, the work here is a lifetime iron rice bowl, as long as they don't do illegal things, they can do it until the day they can't do it.

But when I went to the restaurant she owned, what if the restaurant went bankrupt one day? What if it falls out and she doesn't want to ask them to work?

The three of them hesitated and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Tong Xuelu also understands their thoughts: "You guys think carefully. If you want to come over, go to my house to find me, but I only give you three days to consider it, and it will not expire."

She thinks that the three of them are good in character and ability, but they are not indispensable.

She would not give them the illusion that her restaurant would not be able to open without them from the beginning, otherwise it would be difficult to manage in the future.

Guo Chunyu nodded: "Thank you, Manager Tong. Let's think about it. Just now I said that you don't need to call you Manager Tong. Now it seems that this title does not need to be changed."

Tong Xuelu smiled, nodded and walked out of the hotel.

**

Shi Xingrui was dissatisfied by Wei Zhuzhu.

But Wei Zhuzhu is very tall and stronger than ordinary children, she can't beat it at all.

Xiao Mianmian was even more thief, and never went to the playground to play after class, otherwise she would stick to Wei Zhuzhu, which would prevent her from having a chance to start.

What made her more irritable was that her head didn't know why it was itchy, but it was still itchy when she scratched it.

But she didn't tell Aunt Lin about it.

She hates Aunt Lin and finds her verbose and annoying, but fortunately her parents will be back next week.

Her father also promised her that he would buy her a beautiful dress, and that she would come to school in a dress when she was envious of Wei Zhuzhu's fat pig!

Tong Xuelu did not place all her hopes on Guo Chunyu's three people. She went back to school and told her classmates about the recruitment.

Students of Beijing University will naturally not go to work in her restaurant, but they have relatives.

Not everyone is able to work in a national unit these days, so everyone is very interested to hear that Tong Xuelu is hiring people.

Tong Xuelu told everyone the basic salary and job requirements in detail, and asked them to help introduce people.

When everyone heard her salary, they were shocked.

They had heard about Tong Xuelu's refusal to be assigned by the school. Many people thought she was stupid and impulsive, and actually refused to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and went to do business.

In their view, where is the decent and stable work in the unit when doing business?

They also felt that Tong Xuelu would definitely regret it. They did not expect that not only did she not regret it, but she also became the boss.

I didn't expect that the salary she offered was not worse than the unit.

"Xuelu, aren't you afraid of losing money with so many wages?" Jiang Baihui asked.

Tong Xuelu: "Since I dare to pay this salary, I will naturally be responsible for the profit and loss."

She is confident in her cooking skills and more confident in the future economic development.

At the beginning, she brought the Dongfeng Hotel back to life, but now she can also make the newly opened store flourish.

When everyone saw her vowing, they didn't persuade her any more, and agreed to go back and ask if any relatives in the family wanted to do it.

In fact, in Tong Xuelu's opinion, the ideal state is not to recruit relatives of acquaintances.

Relatives will have a lot of trouble doing things, but now there is no recruitment channel. Secondly, no private company has recruited people. She can only use this channel.

After the news was disseminated, there was news soon.

Everyone passed back and forth, and in the end there were about 20 people who came to the interview.

Tong Xuelu interviewed them in the school's shop.

During the interview, she borrowed the "Wang Wen Wen Qi" of Chinese medicine.

The hope is to check whether their dress is neat and clean, whether there is any dirt between the nails, and whether the hair and ears are cleaned.

In the catering industry, hygiene is the most important thing. She doesn't know if other people care about it. If hygiene fails, she will be the first to pass.

At this level, five or six people were removed, leaving only fifteen people.

Ask, in addition to asking about past work experience, there are also things they are good at. Don’t look at erratic eyes, don’t talk before and after, don’t be greasy and insignificant.

So three or four people were removed in this way.

To smell it is to smell whether they have bad breath, whether they have any peculiar smell, and to make a preliminary judgment on whether they are sick or not, and when they are going to work, she will also ask them to go for a medical examination.

This removes the two again.

The last cut is not the same as the cut of Chinese medicine, it is for them to cut vegetables.

In the catering industry, if she can't even handle a kitchen knife, she has no patience to let them learn from the beginning.

In the end, five people remained.

Among these five people, one is a relative of Jiang Baihui, and the other four are relatives of classmates from other majors.

Jiang Baihui's relative is a young man in his twenties who looks good and clean. He is not proud of her relationship with Jiang Baihui.

Tong Xuelu was very satisfied with this.

Because Guo Chunyu hasn't responded to her yet, she didn't make specific arrangements for the five people, but only asked them to keep their contact information, saying that they would be notified later.

As soon as she returned home after the interview, she saw Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping sitting in the lobby waiting for her.

Seeing her back, Guo Chunyu quickly stood up with a smile: "Manager Tong, are you back?"

As soon as Tong Xuelu saw them, he guessed their intentions, and said calmly: "Sister Chunyu is here this time, it should be a decision, right?"

What Guo Chunyu likes Tong Xuelu the most is her neat character.

She made this decision, which has a certain relationship with the character of the hotel manager.

The current manager of Dongfeng Hotel is not a bad person, but his character is very mother-in-law. He often hesitates to do things repeatedly. No wonder the business of Dongfeng Hotel is getting worse and worse.

I think Dongfeng Hotel was so prosperous when Tong Xuelu was the manager.

In the past two days, she considered a lot, and her family did not approve of her resignation to work for Tong Xuelu.

They thought it was stable at Dongfeng Hotel, but she finally decided to sell her position at Dongfeng Hotel.

She knows Tong Xuelu's abilities best. She witnessed her bringing Dongfeng Hotel back to life, and she also witnessed her becoming a first-class hotel manager from a waiter.

Following a capable manager, the future will certainly not be too bad.

Thinking of this, Guo Chunyu nodded: "Yes, Wei Ping and I both decided to come and help you, but Master Meng decided to stay in Dongfeng Hotel. He asked me to say sorry to you."

"I'm so sorry about this. I won't blame you if I come, but I'm very happy if you are willing to come and help me."

Tong Xuelu stretched out his hand: "Welcome you, when the company develops, you will be the company's veteran heroes!"

Hearing this, Guo Chunyu blushed with excitement: "Thank you, Manager Tong, we will definitely work hard!"

After thinking about it, Tong Xuelu decided to ask Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping to help her open the hot pot restaurant behind the school.

The other five people went to run the restaurant business with her.

She can still trust the character of Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping. As for the five newcomers, she still needs to observe.

The waiter has enough people, and she wants to hire one more chef and one manager, but neither of these two positions is easy to hire.

The chef can still slow down, because at first she planned to go out on her own and start the restaurant with a hit.

As a manager, you need to hire people quickly.

At this moment, Jiang Danhong and her husband Deng Hong came to look for her.

Deng Hong said straightforwardly: "Comrade Tong, I heard that you are hiring a hotel manager, right?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Can someone introduce me to you?"

Deng Hong: "What does Comrade Tong think about me? Are you capable of being the manager of your restaurant?"

Tong Xuelu was startled when he heard the words: "Are you going to resign from the state-owned hotel?"

Deng Hong nodded: "Yes, if Comrade Tong is willing to invite me, I will come to work, if I feel that I am not suitable, then I will make another plan."

The implication is that he has decided to leave the state-owned hotel.

Tong Xuelu glanced at Jiang Danhong: "Sister Danhong, what do you mean?"

Jiang Danhong's mouth has a gentle smile: "I respect his choice."

Tong Xuelu nodded, then looked back at Deng Hong and said, "Can Manager Deng tell me why you want to leave the state-owned hotel?"

Deng Hong said: "In the past two years, I have found that more and more people are secretly starting business outside. There are people near the train station and in front of the factory who secretly sell breakfast or lunch. This has caused a certain impact on the business of state-owned hotels."

"The country now encourages economic development. I think that if this trend continues, there will be more and more people doing business in the future, and the business of state-owned hotels will get worse and worse. So I think this time is the best time to jump out. "

Tong Xuelu felt that Deng Hong's ability to work in the state-run hotel was quite poor. Hearing what he said now, he became more sure of his ability.

"Has Manager Deng never thought about doing business by himself?"

Deng Hong smiled and said, "I also thought about it, but I was shy in the bag, and the risk was too high. If I lose money, my family will drink northwest wind with me."

Tong Xuelu stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "Welcome to Manager Deng, and hope that we can cooperate happily in the coming days."

Deng Hong has the ability to have character. He came to the restaurant to help herself, which was a great addition to her. In the future, she can trust the restaurant to him.

Deng Hong quickly stood up, held her hand and said, "Happy cooperation."

When Tong Xuelu was recruiting people, Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Xiuneng came back from Shenzhen with a batch of costumes.
