Chapter 42 Preparation for Opening
Li Yincheng took the key from Feng Chenxing and took Wang Jin downstairs to Feng Chenxing's parking place. When he saw the cool red sports car, Wang Jin almost fell to the ground, "Boss, let's drive this to buy vegetables?"
Li Yincheng opened the car door and asked Wang Jin to get on the car, "Today, I borrow it for special circumstances. After confirming the menu, I just need to let them deliver the goods to their door every day."
Wang Jin sat in the passenger seat awkwardly, putting his hands on his legs and not daring to move, for fear of breaking something, "Boss, it's hard for him to bargain when we drive this car to buy vegetables."
I started the car and drove out of the school, "Hey, this time, buying some samples won't waste much money; but this car is really too ostentatious. I'll buy a low-key one this weekend."
When he arrived at the vegetable market, Wang Jin strongly asked Li Yincheng to park his car farther and then go in to buy vegetables. Wang Jin is worthy of being a graduate of the Newest Chef School. The bargaining of the vegetables was very neat. After buying vegetables, the boss was almost crying. After Li Yincheng paid the bill, he asked the boss to pack it and put it there first, and then went to buy seasonings.
After buying the seasonings, I returned to the vegetable shop owner. There were too many things and the two couldn't take them, so I had to ask the boss to help me deliver them. When I arrived at the parking place, the owner of the vegetable shop almost knelt down, "Why do you want to drive this car to buy vegetables and you're so embarrassed to cut even five cents?"
Li Yincheng laughed embarrassedly, "Borrow someone else's, borrow someone else's." Wang Jin next to him couldn't stand laughing.
Back at the store, Zhou Yu and Du Chaoji came down to help bring the things to the kitchen, and then Wang Jin and Du Chaoji washed vegetables and started to show off their skills. Since it was a coffee shop, it was mainly Western food such as steak, pizza and salad, and there were small desserts such as cakes, ice cream, and at most, some claypot rice. What was rare is that both of them had learned to make coffee, make tea and mix bartenders. It seemed that the drink lists of the three chinchillas would be much richer in the future. Feng Chenxing was very happy to hear that they would mix bartenders, and said that they would go back in the afternoon to bring the wine she had saved to the store.
Seeing them starting to cook, Li Yincheng said to Zhou Yu, "We will definitely not finish the dishes today. Why don't we call all the part-time jobs in the interview and try them first and listen to the guests' opinions."
Zhou Yu nodded and started calling. Fortunately, everyone they were from the school in the early stage. Except for a few who had classes, the others soon arrived at the store. Zhou Yu started the interview one by one, and Li Yincheng and Feng Chenxing were drinking tea beside him to watch him interview.
There are about six part-time jobs in the store. Zhou Yu signed up for Li Yincheng to reduce everyone's working hours. The extra four are alternatives to prevent others from having trouble temporarily. It seems that he should have had experience in managing part-time jobs before. After the interview, Zhou Yu did not announce the interview results on the spot, and invited them to try it out first. "First of all, thank you for your classmates for being interviewed in this store. I will not inform you of your working hours later. As for the students who did not notify you, it is not that you are not excellent enough, but that your spare time conflicts with our work schedule. You are welcome to come to the store in the future. Today, I will try the skills of our chefs. After eating, I hope you can give you more opinions. I will give you discounts for students whose opinions are adopted next time."
All the students who came to interview were school students. Except for a small number of them who were not well-off and wanted to earn some living expenses because of their poor family background, most of them wanted to experience life, enrich their experience or simply find it fun. So although some people had a premonition that they would not be admitted, they still happily participated in the tasting activities. Two of the students who were already on the admission list had their opinions approved by the chef, namely Su Xiaoge, a girl from the computer department in the sophomore year, and Wang Dingding, a majoring in international trade in junior year.
After the tasting, the first batch of dishes and desserts were determined, and the next step was to gradually improve during the operation. In the afternoon, Zhou Yu began to notify the students who applied for the job to participate in the training and the students who had no time for the first interview to interview. Feng Chenxing ran back to get her drinks; Li Yincheng first returned to the dormitory to move his laptop to the store. Then he took a taxi to buy a set of projection equipment and installed the curtain in the center of the stage. Mr. Wang had installed the audio equipment and the network before.
After fiddling with the projector and laptop for a long time, I couldn't play with this antique model. When I was scratching my head, Su Xiaoge came over and said, "Classmate, is there any problem? Otherwise, let me see if it can be solved." Li Yincheng and Feng Chenxing agreed to Zhou Yu and the other three in advance that they should not call their boss when there are students, but just treat them as an acquaintance he had known before.
"I don't know why my laptop can't be connected to the projector." Li Yincheng moved out of the position, and Su Xiaoge took the notebook and checked it. Although Su Xiaoge was thin and small, wearing glasses and leaving a slightly rustic ponytail, the computer operation was very smooth. After three minutes, the problem was settled, and Li Yincheng's computer desktop was displayed on the curtain; this problem was solved, and Li Yincheng handed over the audio debugging work to Su Xiaoge, and she also completed it smoothly.
"It's not bad, why don't I give the store manager advice and hire you as the chief technical officer of our store." Li Yincheng joked and teased Su Xiaoge.
Su Xiaoge said openly, "Okay, I will be your chief technology officer for a while. When I graduate, I will go to Blue Giant to be the chief technology officer."
Li Yincheng was very happy. The little girl was quite ambitious. "What are you going to do with the Blue Giant? Is it okay to have a little promising? I can't open a company and buy the Blue Giant by myself."
Su Xiaoge was also amused by Li Yincheng, "I'm asking to invade the enemy first, collect the enemy's information in detail first, and then come out to defeat him."
Li Yincheng gave a thumbs up with his right hand, "Okay, you're amazing; I have a job to see if you do it, so the store manager asked me to help him find a coffee shop management software, which is just a simple ordering, cashiers and inventory statistics, and just add an attendance record."
Su Xiaoge frowned and thought about it, "This is nothing difficult. You can do it with SQL. Give me some time and I can do it."
Li Yincheng applauded, "Yes, if you can handle it, I'll leave it to you. How long will it take? How much money are you going to charge?"
"If you have time, it's enough to find a few classmates to help you for a week, and if you have money..." Perhaps because he had never done similar work before, Su Xiaoge couldn't figure out how much it would be appropriate to charge for a long time.
"How about this. After you go back, you discuss with your classmates before replying to me; the software company has quoted me the price before, and see if 70% of the quotes given to you are OK?" Li Yincheng reported a number.
"Okay, I'll discuss with them and I'll reply to you tomorrow." Su Xiaoge responded.
At this time, Feng Chenxing called Li Yincheng to help bring it up. There were a large carton of wine. After Li Yincheng and Zhou Yu brought it up, they opened the carton and saw that there were twenty or thirty kinds of wines, including rum, gin, vodka, dark beer, etc., but there were not many bottles of red wine. Just looking at the exquisite packaging repair, they felt that these wines were valuable.
Zhou Yu probably recognized some wine brands, and silently estimated the price in his heart and said to the two of them in a low voice, "Boss, isn't it appropriate to sell these wines here? Few students can afford it!"
Feng Chenxing didn't care at all, "If you can't sell it, don't sell it. Usually, put it on the wine cabinet behind the bar to decorate it, and then I'll drink it slowly by myself. If you choose a bottle for each of you, it's better to treat it as a benefit for joining the company."
Zhou Yu was sweating. This bottle of wine was worth several months' salary. "I will not receive any rewards without merit. Why don't I sort out the store and get it."
"If you ask you to take it, what's the point of being polite?" The three of them couldn't help but choose a few bottles with relatively low prices.
The preliminary preparations for the cafe in the next few days have been almost completed. The supplementary items have been in place and the staff training has been completed. Li Yincheng and Feng Chenxing also announced the trial business hours at the school forum.
Since the matter here has almost been resolved, Li Yincheng plans to buy the car this weekend.
Chapter completed!
