Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Yue Feng pursed his lips and nodded: "I was also lucky to find a suitable house, which is in the Zhang family compound over there by the Forestry Bureau dormitory.

I have already taken people to do the preliminary cleaning. Later, carpenters and masons will come in to repair the house, and then we can start the trial operation!"

"The Zhang family's old house? The one with the big blue bricks on the door?"

Upon hearing the news about Yue Feng, Chen Hong was stunned and asked a lot of questions in disbelief.

In the current urban area, street planning is still very limited. Chen Hong has been working in the city for several years and is very impressed by this old house.

It is said that those are the houses of the martyrs' descendants, and both the building area and the land area are very impressive.

Yue Feng nodded: "Yes, yes! It's this house! That family happened to be selling their house, so I bought it!
Many of the doors and windows are in disrepair and need to be renovated!"

"Have you found someone to re-clean the house? My dad knows a few people with decent skills. Otherwise, I can go back to my mother's house and ask him." Chen Hong asked with great concern.

Yue Feng shook his head. "I have already given the job of cleaning up the house, changing the interior layout, and building furniture to Master Niu. I have also given him the initial start-up capital. He said he can handle these things, so we don't need to worry about them anymore."

When Chen Hong heard this, her expression changed slightly: "This... Although you have a good relationship with Master Niu, you can't just give him full authority and be a hands-off boss, right?
Otherwise, I will go to the Zhang family's old house and supervise the workers from tomorrow?"

Yue Feng laughed: "Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt! I have considered this matter, so sister-in-law doesn't have to worry!
If you have nothing to do, it's fine to go there for a stroll every now and then, but don't make comments or give any instructions, and you won't be responsible for it!
Go and get familiar with them first, get to know Master Niu’s staff in advance, and gain a better understanding of them!
Once the business opens, we'll have familiar faces and it'll be easier to deal with them later.

My brother may be a little awkward when it comes to dealing with people, so you have to help him manage the relationship."

Chen Hong counted on her fingers and reminded, "This... the entire kitchen is made up of Chef Niu's people, so you will be sidelined by then, right?
The principles of running a restaurant are the same as those of a canteen. There are many things that accumulate over time, such as purchasing oil and water, reporting losses in the kitchen, etc., and you can't find any problems just by looking at the accounts!"

Hearing his sister-in-law's words, Yue Feng pursed his lips and smiled: "That's why I let you and my brother be the lobby managers to take charge of these!

But let me make this clear first, I will delegate the power to you, but you have to grasp the right scale for how it is implemented and the atmosphere in the store!

My sister-in-law must be good at dealing with people, so I won’t say much.

During the trial operation period, we will focus on collecting various problems exposed in the store. Once the store is roughly on the right track, we will find ways to solve these problems from the institutional and human perspectives!

Neither you nor I believe how upright and selfless Master Niu is.

When he was the chef in the second canteen, he would take advantage of some small advantages of the company, but he was never vague on big issues and had his own principles and bottom line.

I hope you and my elder brother can get along well with him! It’s hard to find a chef of this caliber nowadays!”

After listening to Yue Feng's words, Chen Hong hesitated for two seconds and nodded.

"Okay, I understand what you mean! Everything should be done in moderation. Don't be too serious within a reasonable range, but you also have to keep an eye on it and not go too far off the track!"

"Hey, that's right!!
There is one last thing. After you go with my brother, your salary will be temporarily calculated as twice your current salary at the company!

At the end of the year, I will give you extra dividends after the accounting is settled. When everything is stable, I will give you some shares!"

"Okay, we're a family and there's no need to be so serious. Your eldest brother and I will keep an eye on you, and there will definitely be no problems!"

Here, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law were chatting about business when Yue Shan came back with bags of meat, soybean oil, snacks and other things.

Yue Feng talked about the general situation with his elder brother and his wife for a while, making sure that they knew everything they needed to know. Then he said goodbye and rode away on his bike.

After seeing Yue Feng off, Chen Hong and Yue Shan closed the door and started whispering to each other.

"Dashan, our brother has really become rich! He has bought a place as big as the old house in Zhang's compound!

I told you that if we work with him, he will definitely not treat us unfairly!
Once we start operating, we will be offered a base salary that is twice what we are making now! There will also be dividends at the end of the year!"

Yue Shan shrugged: "Anyway, the report for suspension with pay has been submitted. Whether it works or not, it has become a fait accompli! So let's just do it!"

"Look at how reluctant you are! You are so shortsighted that you can't see the opportunity here!
Once this restaurant is opened, it will definitely be better than the state-owned hotels! Then the two of us will be responsible for the store's accounts and front desk management..."

Before she could finish her words, Yue Shan beside her rudely interrupted Chen Hong: "I'm telling you, Chen Hong, Xiao Feng is my biological brother!
He can assign such an important job to us, so don't have any inappropriate thoughts in your heart. Stop those little calculations!
If you and Xiaofeng try to be clever and fail to distinguish the inside from the outside in this matter, I will...I will really beat you up!"

Seeing her husband's unhappy expression, Chen Hong chuckled. Instead of being angry, she felt that her usually listless man had become somewhat manly.

"You bastard Yue Shan, do you think so of me? Am I that kind of person? Xiao Feng didn't treat us unfairly, and he even said he would give us shares if we did a good job! Can I be as short-sighted as you and commit embezzlement?

What I want to say is that since we are responsible for the main work at the front desk, we will have the opportunity to deal with more guests, and there will definitely be many capable officials and CEOs among them!
If you want to get ahead in society, ability is not that important, connections are the most important! In this restaurant, you can meet all kinds of people, and naturally there will be more opportunities. "

After hearing what his wife said, Yue Shan's stern expression finally relaxed a little. "That's good enough. Xiao Feng is here today, so shall we go home tomorrow as planned? I miss my parents a little bit!"

"Of course I'm going back. Now that I've finished writing the report and don't have to go to work, I'll definitely go back. If I can't, I'll stay for one night before coming back!

But I can't stay too long, I promised Xiaofeng that I would go to Zhang's compound to watch the carpenter work!"

"Okay then, let's go to bed early and get up early tomorrow!"

……

Thanks to Yue Feng's efforts and his sister-in-law Chen Hong's foresight, the main framework and personnel for opening a restaurant have been established.

As for the other minor matters later, someone will naturally take care of them, and Yue Feng can be at ease and be a hands-off boss.

In the next few days, Yue Feng resumed his normal routine.

During the preparation stage for the restaurant's opening, the second canteen continued to supply wild game as usual. Although Niu Fusheng had quit, it seemed to have no impact on the coal mine canteen and everything remained the same.

Yue Feng didn't have much contact with Fu Qing and the people there. The game was purchased at the price previously decided by Master Niu. He counted the goods and issued the invoice on the spot. Then he took the invoice to the finance department to collect the money and left.

In addition to delivering goods, Yue Feng would also take a walk around the Zhang family compound every now and then to check on the progress.

Overall, the carpenters and bricklayers we hired worked quite efficiently, and in less than a week, more than half of the work was completed.

Every time Yue Feng went there, his sister-in-law Chen Hong was there. She was responsible for boiling water, making tea, or delivering lunch. Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, Chen Hong should be quite familiar with these people.

At this pace, the main work will be completed in about another week.

The trial operation can be started in ten days or half a month at most.

The preparation for the new hotel entered the countdown, and Yue Feng's new job also arrived.

Master Niu found Yue Feng in advance and asked him to think of a way to prepare some delicious dishes to serve as the restaurant's facade during its opening and trial operation.

The Northeastern cuisine of this era is at the max level, fully uncut and without any modifications.

What does "full-bodied" mean? It means that except for tiger paws, all other wild game on the menu can be cooked.

From bear paws and deer lips to flying dragons and roe deer, as well as the fine-scaled fish and three-flowered five-tailed fish in the water, all of them are legal to eat according to current laws.

The real blow to Northeastern cuisine is not even the interruption of inheritance by the new generation of chefs.

The most powerful is the Wildlife Protection Act.

Yue Feng also discussed the positioning of the restaurant with Master Niu.

Master Niu was very confident in his cooking skills, and when Yue Feng asked, he patted his chest without hesitation and said that he wanted to open a big restaurant with four hanging doors.

Four Huang'er means that the store can make whatever the customer orders as long as it has stock.

Leaving aside the issues of cooking skills, just the storage of ingredients in the kitchen is a huge challenge.

Currently, market circulation is much stronger than last year. Residents' buying and selling of daily necessities on the black market are no longer regulated, but the market supply of popular game is still extremely limited.

This was a job that Yue Feng was specialized in, so the task of preparing ingredients for the opening naturally fell on him.

When I returned that day, I said goodbye to my hunting team mates. The next morning, the hunting team gathered and continued to explore deep into the mountains in the direction we had last entered.

This time we go into the mountains, and we plan to stay for about five to seven days, and bring back as much sought-after wild game as possible to serve as reserves for the restaurant.

Ever since they brought back a few deer last time, the other members of the hunting team have been eager to give it a try.

After leaving the area radiated by the forest farm in the back mountain, the density and quality of prey are much better than those in the small piece of land at home.

Now that the captain has blown the horn to gather everyone, the other three brothers are eager to try.

As the team leader, Yue Feng initially coordinated the replenishment of some of the supplies needed to go into the mountains, then said goodbye to his mother and went back to his room early to rest.

The next morning, before daybreak, Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wu rushed to the captain's house fully armed. (End of this chapter)
