The Era of Hard Work

Going to work in the morning, I just made a phone call with Song Na, who was on a business trip to the south, when Lu Dong heard a knock on the office door, and after saying please come in, Xue Tian came in with a portfolio and put it on his desk .

Lu Dong flipped through the pages and saw that they were all resumes. He asked, "The latest recruit?"

Xue Tian said: "For the manpower needed by the business department, I have had a preliminary interview, and some of them are very good. Mr. Du is not here, and you need to check the second interview."

"Okay." Lu Dong was flipping through the pages when he suddenly saw a familiar name and stopped.

Xue Tian hurriedly asked: "Mr. Lu, there is a problem."

Lu Dong dug out this resume, the name written on it was Zhao Li, although there was no photo, but looking further down, she had the experience of studying in the United States, and also worked in the McDonald's Taidong District. That girl is almost the same.

What a coincidence!

Lu Dong immediately remembered the big wave with hanging eyebrows, and said to Xue Tian: "Forget this, it's not suitable."

In the first interview, this is the most suitable, Xue Tianxia consciously wanted to ask, but held back.

Lu Dong would not intentionally leave such big questions to the people below, but simply explained: "This woman has an unusual relationship with Sun Sha."

Sun Sha went to Lu Dong Catering many times to look for Du Xiaobing. People in the headquarters often knew that Xue Tian, ​​the administrative and personnel director, spent most of his time in the university town, so of course he knew it clearly.

"Understood." Xue Tian immediately took back the resume and put it alone.

Lu Dong flipped through the rest, and said, "Others follow the normal procedure."

Xue Tian withdrew his other resumes, and said: "Mr. Lu, last time you asked about the stewed chicken, I went home on the weekend and asked my grandma specifically. My grandma is old and can't remember many things clearly. The neighbors around have inquired about it, and I will write a report to you later?"

"No need." Lu Dong pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down and talk."

Xue Tian sat down on the chair opposite the desk, and said in detail: "Many elderly people in Luokou Town remember that the time-honored Fuquanju, which specializes in stewed chicken, said that in the early years of the Republic of China, they fled due to the war and came to Quannan to settle down. In Luokou Town, a small restaurant called Fuquanju was opened to make a living. The family’s surname was Meng, and their main dish was stewed chicken, so it was also called Meng’s Braised Chicken. And the proceeds were passed on to the son-in-law, and gradually some people called it Yang’s Braised Chicken.”

Hearing this, Lu Dong nodded lightly, which matched his impression.

Xue Tian continued: "After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the defeat of the Japanese devils, the scale of this restaurant has expanded a lot, and it has become famous in Luokou Town and its surrounding areas. The elders in the family said that at that time, the officers under Wang Yaowu often came to Fuquan to live. For dinner, stewed chicken is required for roll call, so it has gained a lot of fame, and some people say that Wang Yaowu himself has come to eat."

Wang Yaowu is also well-known in Quannan. I have heard of people with poor historical achievements like Lu Dong. The most famous one is the sentence - enter Quannan City and capture Wang Yaowu alive.

Seeing that Lu Dong listened seriously, Xue Tian also spoke carefully: "In those few years, Fuquanju became famous all over Quannan. In the 1990s, when public-private partnerships were carried out across the country, Fuquanju disappeared, and the old man with memories said that it was merged into the public-private partnership restaurant together with several time-honored restaurants."

Lu Dong asked, "Which one has been merged?"

Xue Tian shook his head: "It is said that it was merged into Quannan City. I can't say which one. At that time, the conditions were busy making a living, and the flow of news was poor. Few people paid attention to it. I only know that after Fuquanju was withdrawn, then The family also left Luokou Town for Quannan."

Lu Dong nodded: "So I don't know where they went?"

"We need to find someone to inquire about it, preferably from the old Quannan." Xue Tian said, "I didn't find out about it here. I will ask someone later."

Lu Dong replied: "Okay, I'll ask someone here too."

Just as Xue Tian was about to leave, Lu Dong said again: "Thank you, don't tell anyone about this beforehand."

"Understood." Xue Tian responded, seeing that there was nothing else to do, he left the office.

Lu Dong turned on the computer and searched through the Internet. The Internet has developed in recent years, but the specific details of this regional specialty product cannot be found on the Internet for the time being.

If you can't find it, let Gao Ming from the product research and development department lead someone to try it out. This dish itself is not difficult.

But once a single dish can develop to such a large scale in the north, there is nothing special about the franchise model and operation method of Yang's Braised Chicken, not even mentioning health services, the most important thing is the production of fast food And great for everyone's taste.

At that time, there were many restaurants that made braised chicken, and Lu Dong had eaten many of them. As far as he was concerned, Yang's had the best taste.

Therefore, if you can find the Yang family or the Meng family, you should look for it first, and then talk about other things if you can't find it.

Lu Dong thought for a while, the old Quannan people may know that Du Xiaobing's family is from Lao Quannan, but Lao Du is outside developing a market and is very busy all day, so he would not go to him.

Then there is Ma Ming's family. It is said that their family was in Quannan in the late Qing Dynasty.

Lu Dong simply called Ma Ming, and Ma Ming heard him say that he came to see him for lunch in the university town at noon, and that he almost vomited from eating the boxed lunch at the Han Tomb in Luozhuang recently.

Of course, Lu Dong readily agreed to this kind of thing, and asked Lu's hot pot restaurant downstairs to reserve a table in advance.

Before half past eleven, Ma Ming came over on a motorcycle.

Lu Dong took him into the hotpot restaurant together. The seat reserved in the restaurant was a booth in the corner, which was relatively quiet.

Although Ma Ming was an academic, he had known Lu Dong for a long time, so he was not polite to Lu Dong, and ordered a lot of meat and vegetables in one go.

"Recently, I just changed a box lunch supplier on the construction site." Ma Ming couldn't help complaining: "I don't know which leader is related to the household, the food they cook is not so bad, let alone me, the armed police on guard are about to suffer. It's gone."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "Brother Ma, you should look for an opportunity to complain a few words in front of a leader to ensure that the quality of the food will improve immediately."

Ma Ming understood the meaning of these words: "You are the only one who has a lot of tricks."

The soup pots and dishes were brought up one after another, and Lu Dong greeted him, "Stop talking about this, just eat quickly and then talk about it."

In front of Lu Dong, Ma Ming wasn't too fussy. He picked up the plate and put down the meat: "After eating so many hot pots, the taste in your restaurant suits my taste best."

Lu Dong boasted: "Why is the business in my store always so good? In fact, service and sanitation are secondary. The key lies in the quality of the dishes, the taste of the soup base and dipping sauce, food, especially this kind of public. Type, taste is the key."

Ma Ming mixed the sauce: "I believe it."

Growing up, he has eaten at countless restaurants. He has established a testing center, and the internal quality inspection standards are stricter than the public health standards. Lu's Catering is the first and only one he has seen.

This kind of restaurant can't be done, and the business is not good, that's really God's eyes.

Lu Dong was not in a hurry to talk about things. When Ma Ming ate first, maybe the food at the Luozhuang Han Tomb construction site was really bad recently. Ma Ming was about to gobble up meat when he ate meat.

In the past, the county hostel provided boxed meals there. The county hostel was not responsible for its own profit and loss, and it was fed by the county's finances, so there was no need to consider the cost of supplying meals.

Things may also be considered from another angle, such as the human heart.

In the past, when the Luozhuang Han Tomb was being excavated, Qingzhao wanted to keep the national treasure in the county and build a large museum on the spot to form part of the cultural tourism plan, so everything supplied there was of high standards.

It's different now, the Luozhuang Han Tomb Museum has been approved, the design drawings have also been released, and various plans have been formulated...

It is inevitable that such a situation will occur. When you need it, you will move forward, and when you don’t need it, you will naturally rely on it.

When Ma Ming's eating speed slowed down, Lu Dong said, "I heard from Uncle Ma that your family has been in Quannan for a long time."

"I can't tell you exactly, it's been a long time anyway." Ma Ming drank his saliva and said, "Why else am I so interested in Zhang Zongchang."

"Have you ever heard of Fuquanju?" Lu Dong briefly explained the matter.

Ma Ming muttered: "Yellow Braised Chicken? Fuquanju? I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember the specifics. Compared with Youxuan, compared with pot stickers, and compared with Bianyifang, these are much less famous, otherwise I would Impressed."

He explained: "I have studied the folk customs of Quannan, and the food culture is a very important part."

Lu Dong said: "Maybe it was a bit famous at the time. After the merger of the public-private partnership, people will forget it."

"If it is merged into other time-honored brands in Quannan, it's easy to say." Ma Ming is an old Quannan native: "Now there are only a few time-honored catering brands in Quannan, Taifenglou, Bianyifang, Jufengde, Huiquanlou, Yanxitang , other spring rivers and the like were all created in the 1980s..."

He ate his meat: "I'll find someone to ask you, it may take some time for old things."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you either." Lu Dong picked up the water glass and touched Ma Ming's: "Don't worry, just ask me when you go back someday."

Ma Ming is also in charge of the Luozhuang Han Tomb, and he is leading a team to maintain the main tomb. It is impossible for Lu Dong to let Ma Ming drop his work and make a special trip just because of this.

The two of them didn't drink, but they ate a lot of meat.

Ma Ming said again: "When I go back to Quannan next time, I will ask you specifically for you."

After dinner, Lu Dong asked the cashier to put it in his account. He originally wanted to give Ma Ming a break. Ma Ming said that there was still a lot of work on the construction site, and most of them were inexperienced students. He was worried about leaving for too long. Went off again on a motorcycle.

In the next few days, Lu Dong also temporarily put this matter aside, and accompanied Du Xiaobing's father, that is, Du Dahai, to frequent Lu's village.

Du Dahai specially invited designers to design the resort according to local conditions. This is also a major event related to the development of Lujia Village.

Going to work this morning, Hu Chunlan stopped Lu Dong for something.
