"It's the bank and the army!" Lao Ma emphasized.
"Banks manage money, and they also manage money through people. From the ancient treasures and silks that moved people's hearts, to the earliest bank treasuries, to later banks, and then to modern banks, they have always been the most rigorous organizations in this society; another institution is Troops, troops, do you understand? That is the most strictly disciplined unit for fighting!" Lao Ma tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously.
"I thought you had a premeditated plan. The managers you hired were all veterans, and you also moved me out, an old money-splitting guy. What you talk about every day, 'Management is to get the job done through others', This sentence makes sense. Think about it carefully. What kind of work do people in banks and the army do? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most challenging work in the world, right? What kind of management is needed to achieve more efficiency? The purpose of completing the work?" After finishing speaking, Lao Ma stared at Yao Yuan. Looking at Yao Yuan's confused eyes and face, he suddenly felt a little enlightened: "Hey, let me tell you, if you invite me here, you won't be a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Are you blind?"
Yao Yuan was dissatisfied: "It's not like they are all blind. People who come from the army are disciplined and pay attention to procedures and are easy to manage. It will be most suitable to be placed in the central kitchen in the future. As for you, you are not a dead rat; you are You are a living Bodhisattva, I am lucky to have you in my life!"
Seeing Yao Yuan's lazy look, Lao Ma didn't know what to do: "Okay, I won't tell you the big principles anymore. Do you have any other opinions on this organizational chart?"
Yao Yuan obviously had some doubts, pointing to a position on the organizational chart: "Tell me, what does this inspection group do? We are a small company, and we are just three cats and two monkeys. How can we set up a special team?" What’s the use of the inspection team?”
Lao Ma coughed and cleared his throat: "There are already a lot of people in the company now. There are already more than thirty employees. Then more than a dozen people recommended by Lao Gu will be hired soon. Ordinarily, the company is There is no need to set up this supervision group, but our company is different, isn’t it all because of you, the chairman who just stands in the toilet and doesn’t give a shit?”
Yao Yuan stiffened his neck and was about to retort, but Lao Ma didn't give him a chance and said directly: "The company's business will expand very quickly, the number of staff in each position will increase a lot, and the cash flow will also increase rapidly. Normally For example, one administrator can take care of five to seven direct subordinates, but this is limited to general work processes. Our stores will cover the entire Pingcheng area, and the scope may be wider in the future. If the distance is far, management loopholes will easily occur. Whether it is operating procedures, personnel performance or cash accounts, problems are prone to occur, and this inspection team is to prepare for rainy days and fill in the gaps."
Well, Yao Yuan knows that Lao Ma is from the audit department of the bank, so maybe he has a soft spot for supervision.
Haha, surveillance? I feel like my company has set up a supervision department before it has achieved any results. Is this the "Dongchang" or the "Jinyiwei"? But it's good, at least it's responsible to the boss.
Both the old man and the young man talked a lot today. In the first half, it was Lao Ma who talked a lot and drank quickly. Gradually, it turned into Yao Yuan talking incessantly. After talking for a long time, he picked up half a bottle of beer and poured it into his stomach. Ma watched with a red smile, and then from time to time he dropped his chopsticks, picked up a pen, and wrote a few words on his notepad.
I don’t know what kind of cake Yao Yuan drew or what kind of wishes he made for his old comrade under the influence of alcohol. Looking out of the window, these two people, who appeared to be several dozen years apart in age, became more and more mature as they chatted. carefree.
…
Yao Yuan drank too much the night before and went to bed early. It was rare that he got up after five hours of sleep. It was only two o'clock in the morning.
I quietly tidied up the housework, brushed papers for a few hours as usual, and then ran out the door. Today's goal is ten kilometers.
Running is quite addictive, especially morning jogging alone. Yao Yuan's daily morning jogging distance has become longer and longer.
While running exercises people's endurance, it also gives people an opportunity to be alone. People who are usually stressed will take this opportunity to empty their minds, while people who live a simple and simple life will use this time to let their imagination run wild.
Yao Yuan, on the other hand, was thinking about what to eat.
Dad and Mom took the afternoon flight, and they are finally coming back today!
Yao Yuan has not seen his biological father and mother for more than ten years. He is grateful to God for allowing him to see them again and finally have the opportunity to make up for his previous shortcomings.
Welcome them back, what can Yao Yuan do?
The best way to express your passion is a family dinner.
At this family dinner, Yao Yuan was not going to hide his clumsiness anymore, but wanted to use all his skills to make them full and well-fed!
After running, there were already a lot of people in the morning market. The old men and old ladies who got up early came to the market early carrying baskets and net bags in order to buy the freshest and best goods as soon as possible. Older people can no longer eat much, so they can be satisfied with just porridge and side dishes every day. They brave the cold wind and go to the vegetable market early, all for the sake of having more choices for their families at the dinner table.
Today's Yao Yuan is no exception.
Seeing four fingers of fat pork, Yao Yuan couldn't walk.
At first glance, the back seat of such a pig is not from a breeding farm, but a pure domestic fat pig. It is not that a domestic fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms cannot have such a thick layer of fat, and a pig with such fatness cannot The back seat is a good material for making "garlic white meat" and the best ingredient for that "twice-cooked pork".
In a few years, such ingredients will be hard to come by. If you encounter them today, you must cut off a big piece and go home to satisfy your craving.
A large truck with a Jinhai license plate was parked on the side of the road. Water leaked along the carriage. The owner of the truck was selling seafood. Big river crabs with fat tops only cost five yuan a pound. Fresh shrimps cost ten yuan. Buy three kilograms!
Such a bargain must not be missed. Yao Yuan greedily bought a lot of each. I heard that no one bought Pippi shrimps in the past. When they left Jinhai City, they were made into feed for livestock. Now the price has quietly increased. Yes, the people in Pingcheng who know the goods will buy a few kilograms and go back to try it out.
Only the swimming crab, which weighed several pounds, was placed in the center, but Yao Yuan ignored it at all, because his mother didn't like to eat it at all.
Yao Yuan's mother's name is Fang Nan, a southerner from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
I feel sorry for my mother. She was a delicate lady from the south of the Yangtze River and was sent to Daxi with her father. She suffered a lot in that bitter cold place. Yao Yuan had to cook some southern dishes when he came back this time to comfort his mother. Stomach.
The dried white beans sold by the aunt with a Tangshan accent are really good. The beans are full of flavor when you bite into them. Buy some.
The white-striped chicken was placed on the ground covered with plastic sheeting, with its jade bodies lying around. Yao Yuan rummaged through it and found the one with the fifth toe and the hardest bones. This chicken was definitely a free-range chicken. Ground chickens are also more than three years old.
I don’t know if the hard-boned free-range chicken can become docile by simmering it in a large clay pot at home for five hours.
My taste may have followed that of my father. My favorite thing to eat is probably pig offal. The smelly pig offal is what my dad likes the most, the sluttiest pork kidneys. So it’s not hard to take care of the old man even if he knows how to eat it. Not unjust.
There is a dish in Shandong cuisine called "Fried Shrimp Loin" that tests your fire skills and knife skills. I don't know if this old man has ever tasted it before, so I will arrange it for you today.
Finally, there are vegetables and fruits. I heard that there is no shortage of beef and mutton in their base, and the most lacking thing is fruits and vegetables. Yao Yuan picked up Shi Xian'er's and bought some of everything. When his mother got home, he asked her to choose which one she wanted to eat. No matter which one you fry, it’s too easy to achieve freedom of vegetables and fruits when you return to Pingcheng.
I carried and carried a lot of ingredients back home. Before Xiao Hua'er got up, I took care of them all. I washed out what needed to be washed and stewed what needed to be stewed.
When the old hen was put into the pot, Yao Yuan also took out a piece of Xuanwei ham and grilled it over the fire. After baking out the fat, he threw it into the clay pot. The ham and the old hen are a perfect combination and will give off a charming aroma. I guess they are You can't taste this in the Northwest.
Xiao Hua'er had to go to school, but Yao Yuan didn't. It was a big deal for her parents to go home, so asking for another day off was not a big deal. Although the head teacher, Lao Bai, had a bad face, he still pinched his nose and agreed.
After waiting for Xiao Hua'er to finish breakfast and go out, Yao Yuan began to prepare for today's family dinner.
Although the flight is in the afternoon and the family dinner is arranged in the evening, many things require time. A "Sunflower Chopped Meat" takes at least three hours.
Sunflower chopped meat is also called stewed lion head.
The dishes Yao Yuan prepared today are all home-cooked dishes, simple but not simple.
My father and mother are of high status, so they are probably invited to banquets. Even if they eat in the cafeteria on weekdays, they probably run a small stove. There are good cooks in the northwest. They must have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas. This time when they returned home, Yao Yuan must be completely different.
Sunflower's chopped meat turned into a crab-meat lion head in Yao Yuan's hands today.
The authentic Jiangnan cooking method is to add 40% fat meat and 60% lean meat, cut it into the size of pomegranate seeds, stir vigorously, stir in the freshly chopped crab roe and crab meat, simmer it in a pot with warm water, then add chicken stock and simmer it. Simmer for more than three hours and then serve.
When Yao Yuan was mixing the minced meat, he discovered that there was no decent cooking wine at home. Ordinary cooking wine was not worthy of this lion's head dish. Yao Yuan first squeezed out the onion and ginger water and added it to the meat. Then he suddenly remembered that his father had a jar in his wine cabinet. Old Huadiao, Huadiao that has been out of the factory for 20 years and has been kept at home for more than ten years. I guess my father doesn’t like this bite very much, so he simply uses it and pours meat fillings to remove the fishy smell and increase the fragrance.
Aged Huadiao, paired with crab meat and lion head, complement each other perfectly, and the Jiangnan flavor will hit your face!
Before stewing, I chopped two leaves of Chinese cabbage that had been stored for the winter and covered it on the lion's head to prevent the soup from entering foreign flavors during long-term stewing, and at the same time, it could absorb excess fat in the soup.
Put the lion's head into the steamer and wait three or four hours. The product will be clear and meaty, with a smooth and fragrant taste.
The next test is knife skills.
Yao Yuan always felt that the knife at home was not very comfortable to use. It did not have the feeling of being one with a large knife. Fortunately, the blade was sharp enough and he was not in a hurry.
In the flat blade method, the dried white beans are sliced into thin slices of 0.5 mm, and then the slices are cut into filaments with a diameter of 5 mm.
Braised Gansi is also an authentic Huaiyang dish. Since there is clear chicken soup today, Yao Yuan is going to add this not very expensive but very famous Huaiyang dish to the dining table.
Because he vaguely heard his mother mention that his grandfather often took her to the loft of the restaurant next door, ordered a dish of hot dried silk noodles, boiled a pot of old wine, watched the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and told her that it was equal to equal, equal to equal. Ping's poems often had rhyme and rhyme, and often when my grandfather was expressing his poetry to a small boat floating by in the middle of the river, my mother would steal most of the plate of dried shredded silk.
This is a childhood memory that my mother rarely mentions. Whenever she talks about these past details, her face will have a hint of the charm of a girl. Therefore, Yao Yuan has an idea for the evolution of this light dried tofu dish. Special feeling.
It's a bit melancholy. I guess my mother has never tasted this taste again.
At this time, the road was difficult and logistics was not smooth. It would take more than three days to send a few-page letter home from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Pingcheng. The gap caused by time and space made a simple piece of dry silk become a symbol of Jiangnan in the north. Nostalgia that no one can understand.
Today I have the opportunity to cook this dish for my mother who is not yet old. I can’t express the emotion in my heart with words...
