Chapter 123 Xu Huizhen takes over the civilian cafeteria

"Father, what you said is true?"

night.

When the He family gathered together for dinner, He Daqing announced an important news.

In the future, Xu Huizhen can work directly in the civilian canteen under the name of Fengzeyuan.

As soon as the news came out, 18-year-old Xu Huizhen jumped up excitedly.

After all, my father-in-law is so capable. I just mentioned it yesterday, but I didn't expect that He Daqing would get it done today.

Xu Huizhen knew that her husband He Yuzhu also worked as a chef in a civilian canteen. Now that she went there, it would not only be convenient for the couple to be together, but she could also earn money to support the family. It was really killing two birds with one stone.

"This is so daring!"

Even He Yuzhu smiled when he heard the news.

If I go to work somewhere else, commuting to and from get off work will also be a problem. But now that my wife works with me, I can take Xu Huizhen with me when I go to and from get off work. How convenient!

"How can I deceive you two?"

He Daqing looked calm, but still instructed,

"Huizhen."

He looked at Xu Huizhen and said,

"Let me explain one thing first. You will go to the civilian canteen to get used to it first. In the early stage, you will only be the interim manager. But if you manage this small canteen well, I will have a say in Manager Fan, and you can become a regular employee. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Xu Huizhen smiled and nodded.

I'm just a country girl with no experience at all. It's already quite good for me to run a small canteen in a big restaurant like Fengzeyuan!

Moreover, Xu Huizhen also understood that her father-in-law had used his connections, and she had to perform well to be worthy of his kindness.

He Daqing stopped at the point. There was no need to say too much to a smart person. Moreover, he was also curious about what changes would happen to this small canteen under Xu Huizhen's management.

The next day, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and brought Xu Huizhen directly to the cafeteria where he was.

He Daqing specially invited Fan Jinwu to personally support his daughter-in-law.

Yes, Xu Huizhen is a young girl who is unfamiliar with the place. If she doesn't have a backer, her words won't be convincing. No matter what, it will be easier to get the work done if Manager Fan sets the tone first.

However, He Daqing was obviously overthinking it.

Anyone who can work in Fengze Garden is a smart person, and they had already found out everything. When they found out that Xu Huizhen was He Yuzhu's wife and He Daqing's daughter-in-law, they dared not say no to Xu Huizhen.

Yes, He Daqing now has an extremely high status in Fengze Garden, especially those who work in the cafeteria, who can't afford to offend him.

"Huizhen, how is the cafeteria?"

After working all day and returning home at night, He Daqing asked with concern.

"Dad, this cafeteria is pretty good."

Xu Huizhen took the initiative to serve He Daqing a bowl of porridge, and called him "Dad" in a particularly cordial manner, which made He Daqing feel strange.

Xu Huizhen disagreed and expressed her own opinion.

"I think there are three main points to running this canteen well."

"First, the cafeteria is still too small. The area should be at least doubled so that more people can come in!"

He Daqing nodded.

"That's no problem. I'll talk to Manager Fan."

The civilian canteen was originally built by Luan Xuetang. It was just a small attempt. The area was not large, and a bunch of houses around it were still empty, so there was no problem in expanding the scale.

Xu Huizhen said again,

"Secondly, it's about the dishes. I think they should be arranged separately. For example, from Monday to Saturday, most people are at work. These workers are hard-working, and they eat mainly to fill their stomachs, so the meals should focus on filling their stomachs and eating well. But if it's Sunday, or when there's free time at night, I think the cafeteria should focus on some side dishes, firstly to relax the customers, and secondly, to sell some alcohol and increase revenue. What do you think, Dad?"

He Daqing was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at his daughter-in-law again.

It’s no wonder that Xu Huizhen is a natural at doing business.

It was only my first day in the cafeteria, and I discovered a very important problem.

Not only are the dishes segmented, but even the needs of customers are treated differently. This concept will take a long time to ponder even for people in later generations.

"Sure, Huizhen, you have brains and ideas. I think we can give it a try."

He Daqing praised generously,

"The cafeteria is usually open in the morning and at noon. If it goes as you say, it can also attract a crowd in the evening, which is not bad!"

Xu Huizhen looked particularly happy after being praised by He Daqing.

At the same time, she secretly sighed in her heart that her man, He Yuzhu, knew almost nothing except cooking. But her father-in-law, He Daqing, was different. Although he was a chef, he seemed to know more about business than she did.

He Daqing understood what she meant after she only said a few words, which made Xu Huizhen feel like she had found a confidant.

"And the third one!"

Xu Huizhen became more and more excited as she spoke, and smiled at He Daqing.

"As for me, I want to improve the service in the cafeteria. It's boring for people to just eat and drink, and it's no different from other restaurants. I was thinking, can we invite one or two crosstalk performers to come over, just like in teahouses and restaurants, and perform one or two shows while people eat and drink."

"This way, we can attract more people to our cafeteria..."

Before he could finish his words, He Daqing interrupted him and said,

"Besides, it can also create topics for people to talk about, and give them something to look forward to every day. Over time, people will get used to coming to the cafeteria to eat, drink and chat, and form a circle. Right?"

"Yes, Dad!"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said,

"When opening a business, the most important thing is popularity. As long as we have these services, people will continue to gather here. In this way, it will be convenient for us to do anything in the future!"

The father-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting back and forth, while the others were sitting aside, looking at each other, unable to get a word in.

It seemed like a simple matter to He Daqing and Xu Huizhen, but to He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu and others, it was like talking about the Book of Heaven.

I don't understand at all.

Especially Qin Huairu, her eyes looking at Xu Huizhen and He Daqing were also full of a sense of crisis.

She never expected that her daughter-in-law knew so much more than she did. What surprised her even more was that she seemed to have gotten to know He Daqing all over again.

Fortunately, Xu Huizhen called him "Dad" all the time, so Qin Huairu felt relieved.

Well, Xu Huizhen is my daughter-in-law, what am I thinking about!

"Dad, do you think Manager Fan would agree if I do this?"

After talking about her plans for a while, Xu Huizhen looked at He Daqing a little unconfidently.

That being said, the actual implementation will undoubtedly be a drastic reform for the canteen, which will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

“Just go ahead and do it!”

In response to this, He Daqing gave Xu Huizhen a shot of adrenaline.

"Let me tell you, the better you run the cafeteria, the happier Manager Fan will be. She's not afraid of you doing things, but she's afraid of you not doing things. Do you understand?"
