Chapter 486: An Unoptimistic Patrol
Sanshui City, which is located on the plain, has a beautiful scenery, especially the section of road near the urban area. On both sides are lotus ponds one after another. The green lotus leaves are crowded and stacked, swaying with the wind, which is very spectacular.
On the lotus leaves in this field, there are already many pink flower buds protruding their heads, so, along with the water vapor, there is also a cold, dark fragrance that enters the compartment.
On weekdays, Feng Zhenchang would have asked Master Tao to stop the car long ago, and the two of them went down to take pictures, but today, neither he nor Mei Qiuping was in the mood.
They have been out for nearly half a month, and they are still getting used to life. They are all born in hard times, and they are not so particular. Besides, these days, wherever they go, the shopkeepers in the village are very enthusiastic, arranging for them to eat well and live well. No matter how good they are, they won't let them pay a penny, but the couple just can't be happy.
Compared with when we first opened the store, the folks who have made some money in the past two years are generally a little slack.
When they went, there were still customers eating in some stores, and the boss was sitting in the dining room, with his feet on the stool, his trouser legs rolled up to above his knees, while he was puffing, he was enjoying cooking edamame and drinking beer .
In one-third of the stores, the chefs and waiters played cards at the table when they had nothing to do. Regardless of the diners in the store, they laughed and cursed loudly in their native dialect. Even the little girl at the cash register ran over to join in the fun, waiting for new customers. Call to go to the cash register.
As for those with children, it is only natural for children to treat the restaurant as an amusement park and play around in the store.
The hygienic aspect that has been repeatedly emphasized is also very lax. A few chefs actually have long hair. Most chefs have greasy hair. They must not wash it every day. Not to mention the chef's hat is crooked, and there are stains on the white hat. Obviously, when I walked in, the smell of oily smoke on the uniform was very strong, and I fear it hadn't been changed for a week.
The chopping board and stove in the kitchen were also not very clean, and the floor was not mopped. Mei Qiuping almost slipped in the kitchen of a store.
The most unacceptable thing for them is that they saw once, when the chef put the noodles on the serving table, his fingers with black stains in the nails directly poked into the noodle soup. Isn't he afraid of being scalded?
The person in charge of cleaning the restaurant also tried to save trouble. Instead of cleaning up the rubbish on the ground, it waited until there was some rubbish before sweeping it. And it was very accurate, just sweeping those rubbish, and never caring about the rubbish next to it.
Not to mention other details, let's talk about wiping the table. The standard should be to wipe in one direction. Most girls and boys now just wipe it back and forth a few times.
As for the sewage being splashed in front of the door casually, so that the area in front of the door is a bit darker than the front of the surrounding shops, it is even more common.
There are at least three out of ten stores, and there are already flies in the stores at this time.
In at least three of the ten households, the blades of the electric fans did not seem to have been cleaned.
I'm afraid that in the next step, customers will eat hair in the noodles, and maybe there will be flies.
They didn't pay attention to other things before, but everyone is generally concerned about the cost. After a quick walk in the kitchen, they found that the raw materials purchased now are all only about the cheap price.
... ... ...
What's even more worrying is that it's not just the management that doesn't care, these juniors who have some money have other problems.
Let’s talk about Xinhua, who used to be down-to-earth and hard-working. Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping waited for a long time in his shop before he was dragged back from a poker table by his wife. Who will believe it?
Feng Zhenchang was not polite, so he pulled him to the back of the store and gave him a solid training.
The daughter-in-law of Chuntang's brother-in-law, when entertaining them for dinner last night, in front of them and her own man, cried and complained that he had a wild woman outside.
... ... ...
There are a lot of messy things like this.
What should be taken care of, what should be said, but Feng Zhenchang and the others know that although they have promised in person that they must pay attention to it, they must change it, and they must strengthen it, but when the two of them leave, they will most likely remain the same.
"Master Tao, stop in front," Feng Zhenchang, who was depressed, ordered.
"Okay, Mr. Feng," Master Tao turned the car into a side road by the river, and rushed to help them open the door.
Feng Zhenchang did not take the camera, and walked towards the river with a sullen face and hands behind his back. Mei Qiuping hurriedly followed, "Don't worry too much. Fortunately, everyone's business is good."
"Is this not bad? When we first opened the store, all the things that Yiping was worried about have now appeared, and he is worried about how much money he has. Some people will gamble, and some people will connect their wives and biological children. I don’t want any children, what’s the matter now?”
"Why are you yelling at me? As long as the store is good, I'm afraid their mothers and fathers can't control other things. How can we manage them? If we say what we say, we will do our best." Mei Qiuping was in a bad mood, seeing Feng Zhenchang got angry at himself, but couldn't help it.
Feng Zhenchang sighed, "That's the reason, but if one or two out of ten families would do this, would you be happy?" He was talking about something other than business.
Mei Qiuping sighed when she heard that, yes, gambling outside is not like playing cards and gambling in the village. Xinhua gambles for a small amount of money today, but tomorrow, under the instigation of others, he may gamble with his wealth.
There is also Chuntang's brother-in-law, who seems to have been fascinated by the women outside, but what can we do with them?
Looking at the misty Yangtze River in front of them, the two fell silent.
The phone rang, and when Mei Qiuping answered it, it was Wang Changan who called, "Auntie, where have you been? Stop at the toll booth at the entrance to the city, and I'll wait here."
"An An, we'll be there soon," she pulled Feng Zhenchang, "Let's go, it's useless to get angry now, don't make An An and the others wait in a hurry,"
Seeing their car, Wang Changan, who was waiting by the turntable, ran over with a smile, "Uncle, Uncle, are you in good health? Is the road going well?"
Wang Changan is now fatter than before, looks much better, and is well-dressed. She is already a real city girl. Looking at her, Feng Zhenchang and the others are finally in a better mood, "How long have you waited, I am not telling you, we Can you find a place?"
Wang Changan said with a smile, "I know, isn't it because I'm afraid that you will take a detour? My parents have been waiting for you since I knew you were coming. Master, please follow my car." This is not the place to talk.
Like Xiao Zhijie's two stores, hers' two stores are nothing to say, absolutely no different from the self-operated stores in the provincial capital. The main thing is that Wang Changning's parents are in the kitchens of the two stores and set an example.
After entering the store, in every respect, I feel that it is different from the stores of those relaxed guys in the village. This kind of store looks a bit like a restaurant.
In the house rented by their family, a table of authentic hometown dishes had been prepared long ago. "I know that you eat here and there every day, so we specially made these dishes. Try it and see if it suits your taste?" Wang Changning's father said.
The food at home still tastes good, Feng Zhenchang clinked glasses with him, and said with emotion, "If every family is like yours, we can rest assured."
"What's wrong?" Wang Changning's mother asked.
"Don't mention it," Mei Qiuping recounted what they had seen and heard this year, and Wang Changning's mother was also angry, "How can these people do this? They are really ignorant, and they will be confiscated for a penny. You should be more careful when doing things logically." Right?"
"Isn't it? Now that there are more and more franchisees, we are worried that if they let them do this, they will ruin the brand," Feng Zhenchang said.
"Auntie, you don't have to worry. Didn't everyone sign the agreement? Yuxuan and Yiping must know how to deal with these matters," Wang Changning said.
"That's right, I think they'll know how good they are when they deal with one or two," Wang Changning's father said, "Also, don't worry too much about their affairs other than business. , the key is for them to live on their own, you have brought them to make money, and they are no worse than ordinary city people, if they can't live on their own, who is to blame?"
"Yes, Qiuping, we did our best, and it's good to have a clear conscience. Don't worry, if they really don't want to live a good life and do it themselves, who can control it? Who is to blame? Who in the village can ignore it? Is it your conscience?" Wang Changning's mother said.
She understood what Feng Zhenchang and the others were thinking, although they didn't mention it, but at their level, they would be very concerned about the reputation in their hometown.
