Chapter 119 Judges (Happy second day of the Lunar New Year, and a prosperous start to the new year)
“Ayao, I went to the wholesale market you mentioned today to purchase goods. The more you buy, the cheaper it will be. This is the purchase price. Look at it. Let’s see.”
On Saturday night, when the boss came home, he pulled Ayao into Kang Qirui’s room and handed Ayao a ledger in front of Kang Qirui.
“It’s actually so much cheaper than his listed price?” A Yao looked through it carefully and said in surprise. Kang Qirui didn't find it strange. He explained to Ayao: "Actually, there are many ordinary customers in the wholesale market. The wholesale market is cheaper than the retail market. Many people will go out to buy, so the prices they mark are not actually wholesale. "It's like my mother and my mother-in-law would go to the wholesale market to buy spices, which are cheaper than outside," he continued to explain, using the example at home.
"So that's it." A Yao sighed, "That means there is something wrong with the purchase price of the trade union canteen. Not counting the shipment, he has already eaten the price difference here, and no one is stealing this time. "Yes, just wait for him to arrive next time and take someone to intercept him. There will be witnesses and evidence," Kang Qirui told Ayao to calm down. Be anxious to get started and wait until he gets the goods next time.
Ayao frowned, and he said with some disapproval: "The trade union canteen receives goods once a month, and they only arrive on the 10th of every month. We have to wait for almost 20 days. The director thinks that I What should I do if the work efficiency is too low? "
"Then you can report the situation to the director first, tell him about your plan and why you have to wait until the next shipment, so that he can have an idea. That’s it.” Kang Qirui suggested that when everything is settled, you must let your boss know the progress of your work in a timely manner, and you can’t let your boss tell you until you ask.
"That's right. If you explain the situation clearly to your director, he should be able to understand." The boss Guang also felt that it would be better to wait until the next time the goods are received. Ayao then nodded in agreement. In fact, Kang Qirui still had one thing left to say, which was that things must be done with enough margin. Even if things go smoothly this time, things cannot be done in a day or two.
Otherwise, the next time things don't go well, your boss will think you are lazy and not active in doing things. So you have to leave a margin and some space for yourself next time.
Time flies and a few days have passed. The business of the tea restaurant has been relatively stable these days. There has been no obvious change after the opening ceremony. The lunch and evening markets are still very popular. The milk tea stall at the door It is even more popular. The category and quality of milk tea in 2020 and the price of milk tea in 2001 are simply gauzy in this era, with no rivals at all.
"The Kang family is happy. The Kang family is in trouble this time. Everyone, come out quickly. It's a great joy for the Kang family." When preparing for dinner that day, Lao Dou came back from outside with an excited face.
"Why is Old Dou so happy? How come the Kang family is so powerful?" Kang Qirui came out and said with a smile.
“We are holding the 15th International Food Festival in Guangfu next month. Hehehehe, guess what?” Lao Dou looked mysterious when he saw everyone walking out of the dining room one after another. Let everyone guess the riddle.
"What does the International Food Festival have to do with our Kang family? How powerful is it?" Azu was speechless. He was having a meeting when he was going to have dinner. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"You, Old Dou, and I have been invited to be the judges." Old Dou said proudly.
“Huh?” Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, enough to hold an egg. International Food Festival, Lao Dou is a judge? What kind of international joke is this? Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Lao Dou became even more proud. He took out a letter and said, "Look at it, pearls are not so real. You have to rely on your faith."
"Mr. Kang Ershou, we sincerely invite you to be the special guest judge of the 15th Guangfu International Food Festival. Hey, it's true." The second guy grabbed the letter from Lao Dou's hand, opened it and read it Come on, it’s true. The International Food Festival actually invited Lao Dou as a guest judge. That’s really impressive.
"Old Dou, I still don't understand why I ask you to be a judge?" Although the second brother believed it, he still didn't understand how Old Dou He De could be a judge?
Lao Dou was not convinced. He stood up from the Taishi chair and said loudly: "What do you mean, Lao Dou and I have been working in restaurants for decades, and I am a famous gourmet in the industry. . People invited me because I wanted to give them face."
Uh...who looked proud just now? Who proudly talks about being awe-inspiring? "Old Dou, I heard that you are working as an accountant in a restaurant and not doing food tasting?" Kang Qirui teased.
"You have heard your old friends bragging. In fact, each restaurant sends a representative to be the judge. The others are not willing to feel tired, but you old friends are the most active." Mom told the truth. .
"Oh! So that's it." Everyone then understood. This is only reasonable. As for Lao Dou, an accountant, there is no way he would be invited based on his reputation.
"Old Dou, what's going on at your food festival? Can a tea restaurant like ours go there?" While others were still teasing Lao Dou, Kang Qirui thought about whether his own tea restaurant could go there. Show your face.
“Yes, I learned about it during the meeting today. You can apply for a stall by yourself. However, your tea restaurant does not have any special dishes and is not very attractive. Do you need to spend so much money? Are you going to apply for a stall?" When Lao Dou went to the meeting today, he thought of a tea restaurant, but when he asked about the price of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan for a stall, he thought it was not cost-effective.
"It doesn't matter. The main thing is to build up the reputation of our tea restaurant. We can think of a few special dishes urgently, and our milk tea is also a special feature. There are many varieties and the taste is good." Kang Qirui felt This doesn't matter, I asked Jiao Jiao to make ginger, scallion, chicken and black bean duck as the special dish. It is an absolute Xiguan delicacy.
No matter how bad it is, there is still milk tea. In my previous life, when I watched TV, there was not a tea restaurant in Hong Kong City, but the Milk Tea King opened it all over the 18 districts. Hello, this milk tea is 20 years ahead of its time, not to mention the opening. There are so many places to visit in Guangfu, so it’s not a problem to go to Xiguan, right?
"Old Dou, can you use your connections to leave us a stall with a better location?" Kang Qirui said again, this is definitely not for Lao Dou's personal use, a good stall is You can pay as much as you want, and you'll still pay as much as you should, just say hello and grab a good seat.
Lao Dou thought for a while and asked cautiously: "You don't want me to go through the back door, do you?" Boss Guang waved his hand in the same way and said: "Ah Rui, why don't you forget it, don't cause Lao Dou a lot of trouble."< br>
"Old Dou, big boss, we are definitely not using the back door. We just want a relationship of fair competition. We can compete as we should, and we will still give the money we should pay." Kang Qirui explained the situation.
"That's no problem." Lao Dou said
