Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Li Youcai was in the compound discussing the installation of street lights with the electrician when he saw Gao Dapeng walking towards him with a stern face.

"Two masters, please discuss the route I just drew for you and see if we should take this route. I have something else to do over there."

"Boss Li, please go ahead."

Li Youcai turned around and faced Gao Dapeng.

"Brother Gao, you look so worried. Why aren't things going well?" Li Youcai asked with a smile.

"No, that guy surnamed Sun is so cruel and sinister. He avoided seeing me in the morning and sent two people over in the afternoon to transfer me to the logistics department of the catering company. This is the first time I've encountered such high efficiency in all the years I've been working in the catering company!" Gao Dapeng was indignant.

Li Youcai didn't feel surprised at all, after all, everyone had already fallen out.

The game is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

It's nothing if someone uses their power and plays dirty tricks.

"Is it just because of this? If it's just this little thing, it's not worth it for you to be so angry." Li Youcai said as he led Gao Dapeng towards the office.

Gao Dapeng pouted and followed Li Youcai: "I know it's only a matter of time before he messes with me, but I'm just angry."

In the long corridor over in the office, a dozen or so girls from the forest farm were sitting around doing nothing and were gathering together to practice their standing posture.

Stand with your feet in a T-stance, legs straight.

Everyone should hold their chest up, head up, and abdomen in, with the four fingers of their right hand covering the upper four fingers of their left hand and placing them in front of their lower abdomen.

Each of them is tall and graceful, full of energy and spirit.

Li Youcai opened the door and saw the girls in the corridor.

"Hello, Brother Cai!" When everyone saw Li Youcai coming in, they called out in unison. The sound was like a continuous drizzle, which was very comfortable to listen to.

"That's great, let's continue practicing." Li Youcai called softly.

Gao Dapeng knew that Li Youcai had specially trained a group of waiters for the restaurant.

But he didn't expect that the quality of these waiters would be so high. Each of them was in their twenties and full of youth.

Even though he was several meters away, Gao Dapeng could feel the vitality hitting his face.

Looking at these girls, each standing straight with a graceful figure, if they put on nice clothes and stood in the hotel, it would be so pleasing to the eye.

By then, everything you eat will taste delicious!

Li Youcai opened the first office at the door and walked straight in.

Gao Dapeng followed behind, and as soon as he entered the room, he said to Li Youcai with a look of surprise: "Brother, those guys outside are the waiters you hired, right? They are so presentable, so young and beautiful, and they look so energetic standing here."

As he spoke, Gao Dapeng imitated the standing posture of the girls outside and stood in a T-step.

"Originally, we planned to let these people start work directly after we acquired the six restaurants. Now it seems that we have to wait for a while. However, this is also okay. We can let them learn some table manners. Besides, it takes time to customize cheongsams for them." Li Youcai said.

"Table manners? Cheongsam?" Gao Dapeng's face was full of surprise.

Having worked as a restaurant manager for so many years, Gao Dapeng had naturally heard of table manners, but he had only heard of them and never seen them in action.

Those things are only used in large occasions and high-end dinners. Not to mention Teng County, even Taihe City does not have such services.

Not to mention that the waiters wore cheongsams. Gao Dapeng had only heard that waiters at state banquets wore cheongsams.

"Brother, you really dare to do it. I can guarantee that if those girls outside really put on cheongsams and stood at the door of my Beiwei Restaurant, I can't say anything else, but at least more than 8% of the customers would be scared away. They are too high-end, and ordinary people dare not come in." Gao Dapeng said with a pout.

In Li Youcai's opinion, Gao Dapeng's mind is still not open, and he is still immersed in the business thinking of a small restaurant.

The portions of dishes should be large, the prices should be low, and they should be affordable.

This kind of thinking cannot be said to be wrong, but it can be said that it is completely different from the path that Li Youcai wants to open for the restaurant.

According to Li Youcai, running a restaurant is actually very similar to running an entertainment venue.

First of all, the decoration should be luxurious and the beautiful environment will make people happy physically and mentally. When people are happy, food will taste better.

Secondly, service must be excellent. The idea that customers are king didn't exist in this era. The waiters in state-owned restaurants were all cows doing handstands, so awesome! Whoever could provide good service first would naturally retain customers.

Then there are the ingredients. Only when the ingredients are fresh and hygienic can customers eat with peace of mind and be willing to spend more money.

Finally, there is the chef. Good ingredients require good chefs to cook them. Special dishes are a must in every big restaurant. Good special dishes can even become like a signature dish, making them widely known among diners.

"Brother Gao, what I want to open is not a small restaurant like Beiwei, but a high-end restaurant. Just like in the movies, with flashing neon lights outside and magnificent interior. So the waiters must wear uniform uniforms and have the best manners and appearance to serve customers." Li Youcai said with a smile.

After hearing Li Youcai's description, Dapeng couldn't help but think of the big restaurants in old Shanghai in the movies, where the bowls and chopsticks people used for eating were all inlaid with gold edges.

If there was a big restaurant like that for him to manage, Gao Dapeng would feel very satisfied just thinking about it.

With big restaurants around, who would want to run a small restaurant?

"I knew you were a man who could do great things, brother! Not only are you courageous and have big ideas, but the things you want are also bigger than others. Knowing you is the luckiest thing in my life, really!" Gao Dapeng said with a laugh.

At this moment, Gao Dapeng had completely forgotten his previous worries and was full of longing for the future grand restaurant.

Seeing Gao Dapeng like this.

Li Youcai smiled bitterly.

It seems that I will have to paint more big pictures in the future.

"Not angry anymore?" Li Youcai said with a smile.

"Only fools would be angry!" Gao Dapeng chuckled, then said, "Sun wants me to sweep the floor in the logistics department. It's a good thing he thought of that. This time, I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace!"

"Brother Gao, it's good that you have the courage to burn your boats, but we also need to be methodical."

"Since they want to mess with you, let's change our strategy tomorrow. You say this tomorrow..."

After returning from Li Youcai's factory, Gao Dapeng had a smile on his face as if he had eaten honey.

The waiters in the hotel were very curious when they saw Gao Dapeng like this. They thought that he had been dismissed from his job, so how could he still be so happy?

Wang Wanru looked at Gao Dapeng and knew that Li Youcai must have given him some medicine again.

On the other side, the two people from the catering company hurried back to the company after being splashed with soy sauce by Wang Wanru and her group of waitresses.

The incident of Gao Dapeng tearing up the order and speaking ill of others was reported to General Manager Sun with exaggeration.

Inside the general manager's office of the catering company.

Mr. Sun and Director Bai sat on the sofa in the reception room.

After listening to this, Mr. Sun just sneered. The more Gao Dapeng acted like this, the happier he was, because only in this way could he justifiably fire Gao Dapeng.

"Keep an eye on it tomorrow and have the new hotel manager go early in the morning to handle the handover. If Gao Dapeng doesn't report to the logistics department tomorrow, he'll be considered absent from work and will receive a warning or disciplinary action."

"Yes, Mr. Sun." After reporting their work, the two men left.

Inside the room, Director Bai laughed and said, "This Lao Gao, his temper hasn't changed at all."

"He's a reckless man who doesn't know how to turn. I told him he has nothing to be afraid of."

Mr. Sun then continued, "I've contacted Zhong Yuanbing and asked him to come over tomorrow to sign the contract. As soon as the contract is signed, Deputy County Chief Zhou will start operations. After I'm transferred, you'll be next."

Director Bai's eyes narrowed into slits when he heard this.
