Food Intelligence King

Chapter 48 New Intelligence, Employee Talent Scout
"Sister Meng, Brother Baozi is moving in next door!"

As soon as Tony entered the tobacco and liquor store, he started talking to the owner.

After hearing this, Liu Jinyan hurriedly asked:
"Huh? You transferred the shop to him?"

"What?!" Tony waved his hand dismissively. "It's the breakfast stall next door."

"Isn't that my aunt's own house? She's quitting?"

Tony was a little embarrassed. "I forgot to ask. I'll go and find out later."

"Alright, alright, let's eat the steamed buns first."

Liu Jinyan stopped him, then sighed:

"Xiao Chen is really bold. Last time he asked me and Lao Meng about renting a shop, and I didn't expect that he would actually rent it for himself."

Tony chimed in, "That's great! Now it's even more convenient for us to eat steamed buns, and we're neighbors too!"

Then he changed the subject and began to mutter to himself:
"However, there's something I didn't tell him to his face: people are saying that the feng shui in my aunt's shop is bad."

“You’re talking nonsense,” Liu Jinyan frowned, then said:

"My aunt's place is so close to the entrance of the community, and there's a row of parking spaces in front of the shops. There's plenty of foot traffic every morning, so her business must be doing well."

"I think so too. My aunt just can't do things well."

Tony spreads rumors, but he doesn't believe them.

That evening, at Chen Zhou's home.

Lin Yifan also prepared some late-night snacks for Chen Zhou today.

Congratulations, Mr. Chen, on finding a suitable shop!

Life needs a little ritual, but spending money and transferring funds is not a ritual.

Ms. Lin has always handled things well.

Chen Zhou looked at his wife, recalling the ups and downs they had gone through together over the years.

He sincerely said, "Thank you for your support, boss lady."

Ms. Lin smiled faintly.

Chen Zhou knew that Chen Taotao also wanted to join in the fun, so he looked at the little girl again and said, "Thank you for my daughter's support."

You're welcome, Dad.

Chen Taotao was very polite, and then thought about what she should be addressed as.

"Then I'm the female boss."

“Okay, boss lady,” Chen Zhou picked up his daughter, “please take a seat.”

The family of three sat down to eat.

Ms. Lin bought barbecue and also prepared two bottles of ice-cold beer for Chen Zhou.

Having a late-night snack like this on a summer night is truly comforting.

What's the old saying?

Big gold chain, small gold watch, three meals a day of barbecue.

The two adults were discussing rent, hiring employees, and handling various procedures.

Chen Taotao learned to make her own skewers.

the next day.

People, cats, living room, Chen Taotao who was also lost in thought with Chen Zhou, and Ms. Lin who was looking at the family members with puzzled expressions.

Intelligence Update —

[Ingredient News (Rare)]: In the early morning, before the sky is fully bright, a faint fragrance already wafts from the depths of the alley. It is not ostentatious, but rather like mist seeping into the warm morning breeze—it is the aroma of star anise and cinnamon carrying the scent of aged tea. (You will then be able to make tea eggs.)

Simple and unpretentious tea eggs.

Chen Zhou now has a menu that includes two types of steamed buns with different fillings, porridge, cucumber salad, and plum juice. This will add another small category to the shop's menu.

If you don't use targeted services, the intelligence will indeed randomly refresh the content around you.

But Chen Zhou always felt that the tea eggs were made by tapping Chen Taotao that morning.

After all, the little girl is very lucky; she even won two thousand yuan in a shopping mall lottery.

He couldn't help but look at his daughter's smooth little forehead.
"Try a Manchu Han Imperial Feast if you get the chance." The second piece of information was still—

[Customer Feedback]: 95% of the customers who came to your steamed bun stall in the past four days will continue to patronize your business after you open your shop.

Chen Zhou simply asked a few customers about their intentions, and they did express their support.

But I didn't expect everyone to have such a high level of trust in steamed buns.

This makes the remaining 5% of people quite conspicuous.

Chen Zhou wanted to find a small notebook to write them down.

However, he suddenly remembered the few construction workers he had met before who were doing renovations in the neighborhood; they might go somewhere else to work next time.

Perhaps this is the end of our relationship.

I hope they can eat well in the future.

The third piece of intelligence—

[Market News]: National subsidies are still in effect. For tableware and disinfection supplies, we recommend purchasing the XX brand online. Quality is guaranteed, and sets offer even better deals.

To-do list +1.

This is also a useful piece of information about opening a store in the future.

In addition to safety and hygiene, tableware is indeed very important during meals.

Common wooden disposable chopsticks need to be broken in half.

However, when using such chopsticks to pick up food, the uneven tip can be uncomfortable to hold, and some small burrs can prick your hand.

Discovering the problem while pricking your mouth makes it even more despairing.

Therefore, substandard tableware is a major drawback to the dining experience.

Chen Zhou didn't want to hide it anymore; his aunt's family used this kind of product.

Finally, my own targeted intelligence for this mission—

[Employee Scout (Rare Target)]: A potential employee has been discovered! Zhao Yilin is proficient in using office software such as Word, Excel, and Photoshop, and has two years of rich experience in comprehensive human resources, administration, and finance positions. She is hardworking, resilient, and has a strong ability to work under pressure. This person will be coming to your house for dinner this Saturday.

Is this right?
"I wanted to hire a waiter, but they found me an administrative specialist? People who don't know any better would think I'm going to start some kind of large restaurant company."

However, the junior sister's abilities were indeed recognized by intelligence.

Most people's resumes will state that they are proficient in various office software, but their actual performance after joining the company is often disappointing.

The intelligence assessment of Zhao Yilin was that she really was capable.

This is truly commendable.

But in some ways, it seems more like she was set up by Chen Zhou.

Eating a meal might put you in danger.

The day after tomorrow, Ms. Lin will pick her up and bring her to her home, which will be a good opportunity to ask her if she is interested.

Chen Zhou did remember that during their previous chats, his junior sister had wanted to set up a stall with him.

Anyway, waiters don't need to have too many professional skills.

But when my junior colleague went through the resignation process, she was very professional.

When opening this store, Chen Zhou also plans to have himself and his future employees pay social security.

If Zhao Yilin were to join my shop, her experience in this area could be of great help.

In fact, she can also handle the business license, operating permit, and other related procedures.

As for being hardworking and having a strong ability to withstand pressure, they are also very resilient.
It is indeed of good quality, but Chen Zhou hopes that the working atmosphere in his store is happy and not so stressful.

Then, the working hours should not be too long, and it is best to have time for rest and holidays.

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

These are principles from elementary school textbooks.

Chen Zhou thought, "I already have a system, why would I learn from a heartless boss and make money by exploiting his employees?"

Of course, we'll figure things out gradually from here on out.
