Youran Farm Bun Shop branch, Shen'an Street West Street, Beicheng.
In the early morning, Xu Wenfeng, wearing a white overalls and holding a big bamboo broom, was sweeping the floor in the backyard.
It had been nearly half a month since he came to Baozi Shop. After his salary was enough to compensate for the broken glass, Xu Wenfeng did not leave, but asked to stay and work.
After receiving his application, Manager Zheng thought about it and agreed because the store really needed manpower. However, he explained to him in advance that his current status was only a temporary worker, the salary was not high, and he could be fired at any time.
This Xu Wenfeng doesn't mind, if he can stay, he will have a chance.
At the beginning, the kitchen staff knew the origin of this guy and were very hostile to him. They stared at him like a thief, as if they were afraid that he would cause damage again, and naturally they didn't listen to what he said.
I'm not angry at this, because I'm afraid it would be the same if it were me.
The house he rented was not too far from Baozi Shop. He came to work very early every day. Not only did he do the work assigned to him, but he also took the initiative to help others.
Washing dishes, loading and unloading, moving, cleaning, everything is done without complaint.
As time went by, Xu Wenfeng's image of being down-to-earth, conscientious, deft and hard-working gradually changed the attitude of his colleagues. When they faced him again, their faces became much better.
Especially the head chef of the kitchen, a middle-aged man with a shiny brown complexion and a clean beard, whose loud voice became much calmer when assigning work to Xu Wenfeng.
Of course Xu Wenfeng has his own ideas. He will definitely not be able to go back to Haoli Fast Food Company. No matter what he does, he will have to start from scratch. He has no special expertise or ability, so he will not be easy to mess around no matter where he goes.
Since coming to Baozi Shop, the booming business has really opened his eyes. For three meals a day, the customers inside and outside the shop are bustling and crowded. Even before the normal meal time, there are many people who come to the shop in advance to eat.
of guests.
There is always a long queue at the takeout window. Even when it rains, people hold umbrellas and complain, but they refuse to be absent.
Although he has several years of social work experience, this is the first time he has seen a restaurant with such a prosperous business. It is understood that the main store of Baozi Pu is in Shigu Lane, Nancheng, and this is the first and only branch.
This also made him curious, since the business is so easy to do, why is the pace of expansion so slow? If it were another owner, I'm afraid branches would have sprouted everywhere. This is the case with those Western fast food.
But this is a matter for the owner of the bun shop, and others may not know about it.
Of course, what concerned him most was the taste of the buns that brought such good business.
The employees at Baozipu branches are treated the same as at the main store. Food and drinks are provided free of charge during working hours, but they are all made individually. If you want to eat food sold regularly, you need to pay half of the listed price. It is said that this is a traditional employee benefit.
.
Although Xu Wenfeng is only a temporary employee who "works with guilt", he can still enjoy this benefit.
He was naturally not stingy with just a few dollars, so on the third day at the bun shop, he tasted buns with two fillings: pork cabbage and beef shredded radish, as well as a soy milk drink.
As soon as he ate it, he was shocked by the deliciousness of the steamed buns and soy milk. At the same time, he understood why Guanghui Building was losing customers. Now it seemed that this phenomenon was completely normal.
With such a standard of food, this Youran Farm Steamed Bun Shop has a bright future. Xu Wenfeng was immediately aware of this, so he tried to find out more about the Steamed Bun Shop. Of course, this was all public information, and it was not difficult to obtain it.
big.
Finally, he summarized the information he collected and came to the following key points: First, the boss of the bun shop has a special cooking secret recipe and can produce high-grade food that surpasses his peers. Second, the boss may be a chronic person, so the career
It is just in its infancy. Third, the current managers at all levels of Baozi Pu have low academic qualifications, and most of them are from rural areas.
This is simply the opportunity God gave him to make a comeback, Xu Wenfeng came to the conclusion in surprise.
For example, the manager of the branch, Zheng Yan, is young. I heard that he does not have a college degree. He is currently just attending a night school training class. Such a person actually holds such an important position as a branch manager, and is in charge of a large number of people.
, with a generous salary, it is really enviable and unwilling.
Compared with them, I have a lot of advantages. I am not stupid. I have been in the society for a few years and I am considered a person with some experience. Moreover, I have academic qualifications. No matter how good the adult education diploma is, it is officially recognized by the country after all.
, no matter what, they are better than Manager Zheng and the others.
Thinking of this, Xu Wenfeng's heart began to heat up, and he decided to take advantage of the opportunity when the Baozi Shop had not really developed and grown, to join in, and work hard to climb up. When it gets up in the future, he would naturally follow the rising tide.
Of course, the idea of achieving success overnight is unrealistic. Therefore, he invested 10% of his enthusiasm in his current most basic job, firstly to accumulate work experience, and secondly, to wait patiently for opportunities to arise.
Xu Wenfeng carefully swept the cement brick floor in the backyard, then collected tap water in an iron bucket and spread it everywhere to prevent the ground from dusting.
"Xu Wenfeng, the delivery truck is here. You and Xiao Liu can unload the truck together." The kitchen manager came out of the building and ordered.
"Okay." Xu Wenfeng agreed loudly and cheerfully.
Beep beep beep, a car horn sounded outside the door.
He put down the iron bucket, rushed to open the iron gate of the backyard, and let the Jinbei van drive in in reverse.
Xu Wenfeng knew that this was the delivery truck sent by the Baozipu main store twice a day, morning and evening.
The waiter Xiao Liu also rushed over. The two of them opened the car door together and unloaded the rectangular stainless steel flat boxes, followed by a dozen white plastic buckets filled with water. It is said that the store mixes noodles and grinds soy milk.
They all use this, probably purified water or something.
The stainless steel boxes are specially made for filling stuffings, and they all have lid buckles. In order to prevent them from deteriorating in the hot weather, they are refrigerated before going out. Now they feel quite cold to the touch.
After the boxes and buckets were unloaded, Master Wei came up and counted the types and quantities, and then signed the delivery note brought by the driver.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Wenfeng and Xiao Liu went to carry out the empty boxes and empty buckets from the warehouse and put them back into the Jinbei truck.
After completing the handover procedures, the driver started the Jinbei car and drove out of the backyard.
Next, Master Wei asked Xu Wenfeng and Xiao Liu to carry all the stuffing boxes and buckets to the warehouse. The stuffing boxes should be put into the freezer and arranged in categories.
Xu Wenfeng noticed that there was a white self-adhesive label the size of a tofu block attached to the side of these stainless steel boxes, with the types of fillings marked with oil-based pens.
Every time it is unloaded from the truck and put into storage and taken out from the freezer and sent to the operation room, people need to get closer to check and identify it carefully to avoid mistakes.
Because these boxes are reused, it is inevitable that some water and oil will stain the labels, dilute them, and cover the writing, causing certain obstacles to identification.
Xu Wenfeng and the others put the boxes into the warehouse as instructed and put them in categories.
At this time, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a good way to identify the tags.
"What's the matter?" Master Wei looked doubtfully at Xu Wenfeng, who came to see him.
"Master Wei, it's like this. Nowadays, there are many kinds of stuffings for steamed buns. I think it's very troublesome to carefully identify the labels every time you put them in and out of the warehouse." Xu Wenfeng said with a calm face.
"Oh, what can you do?" Master Wei asked.
"Master Wei, I have an idea. You can see if it suits you. It is to replace the white labels with various colors, and then correspond to different fillings. For example, the yellow label represents beef filling, the red label represents pork and cabbage filling, and the green label represents pork and cabbage filling.
The label represents leek and egg filling, and so on. In this way, it is clear at a glance and you can know the content without having to read the words. Work efficiency will also be improved a lot." Xu Wenfeng expressed his thoughts.
After hearing this, Master Wei thought about it and found that this was indeed a good idea. Especially in the warehouse, where the light is dark, it is much easier for the human eye to recognize colors than to read handwriting.
"Well, I think this method is okay. I'll report it later and ask the manager to contact the kitchen of the main store." Master Wei nodded and said.
Master Wei has a relatively upright temperament and does not have many ideas. He is not like some petty bosses in society who are accustomed to taking credit for the work of their subordinates.
That afternoon, he found Manager Zheng and told him about the proposal, explaining that it was the temporary worker named Xu Wenfeng who came up with it.
Zheng Yan thought about it for a while and felt that this idea was quite good and completely feasible. The current branch has followed the footsteps of the main store and the types of bun fillings have been increased to seven. It is a bit complicated to go in and out, so this process has indeed become simpler.
, easy to identify.
In addition, if I think about it further, I might be able to learn from the process of steaming steamed buns. Of course, the steam on the stove is very strong, so I can’t copy it completely, but I can make some slight changes, such as engraving eye-catching marks with different patterns on the side of the bamboo steamer.
, wouldn’t it be more convenient.
In order to distinguish the types, the current method used is to deliberately pinch the pleats into different patterns when making the buns. Although this is easy to identify, the bun master needs to constantly change the method when working. Compared with the two, it is really inefficient.
Sometimes don’t underestimate these inconspicuous little tricks, small innovations, etc. If they are really useful, over time, the labor saved and the efficiency improved will add up to a lot.
Now that he figured it out, he immediately called Uncle Qi, the kitchen manager of the main store. The two discussed it and decided to start the trial from tomorrow.
