Lin Mo's cooking skills are as good as ever. After Uncle Zhong ate it, he fell in love with the taste, and went to Lin Mo's every now and then for a meal. After Han Xun learned from Lin Mo that Uncle Zhong already knew about the affair between them and helped them conceal it, he thanked him specially. In the words of Uncle Zhong, the young master has never been so sweet since he grew up with such a big mouth. That sentence called having a daughter-in-law and forgetting something, and it has been sour for several days.
After Lin Shu's Olympiad training class was over, Lin Mo packed his things and went back to his hometown with him. Now that Han Xun is not here, Uncle Zhong needs to spend more energy to help him deal with domestic investment. He has no time to go, so he has to make an appointment with Lin Mo to go when he is free, and let Lin Mo remember to cook grilled fish at that time Give him food, it can be seen that Mr. Han will definitely show off in front of him after he returns.
Lin Mo didn't have much to bring, he only brought a few clothes and some gifts for grandma and father, so he packed lightly. Lin Shu brought a lot of things, just a lot of books and snacks, the little guy now claims to be a "kungfu learner" and he didn't let Lin Mo carry his luggage, his handsome little face was flushed . Lin Jian hadn't seen his son for another half a year, and Lin Jian had been looking forward to it for a long time, and sent someone to pick him up at the airport early. The old lady came to Jincheng two days in advance in order to be able to see the two good-looking grandchildren at the first time. No, just as Lin Mo and Lin Shu got out of the van, the old lady rushed over and took the brothers' sweethearts Call.
Lin Mo has long been used to the old lady's numbness, and he is extremely calm. Lin Shu has a thin skin, and the little kid has a good face, and his face flushes with shame when he sees the eyes that are not sweeping over. The so-called dead friends don't die poor, Lin Mo silently looked away, pretending not to see his younger brother's eyes asking for help, and let his younger brother be rubbed in his grandma's arms, he stepped aside and chatted with his father about other things.
In the past six months, the business of the Jincheng branch has been booming every day. Once the running-in period of Lin Jian and other branches is over, everything is on the right track, and immediately recruits people to renovate another shop in Jincheng, and then opens the second shop in Jincheng. branch. In this way, Lin Jian has three hot pot restaurants in his hands, and he is still actively preparing to expand the branches to surrounding prefecture-level cities and counties. It is impossible for him to manage them alone. After discussing with Lin Mo, he registered Lin's Catering and Food Co., Ltd., and at the same time clarified the shareholders and shares. Lin Jian owns 65% of the shares and becomes the largest shareholder. Han Xun only needs 30% of the shares to become the second largest shareholder. According to the earlier agreement with Liu Li, he is given 3% of the shares, and Lin Dongmei, as the company director, owns 2%. shares. The shares held by Liu Li and Lin Dongmei are preferred shares, which can enjoy preferential dividends. They have no right to vote and be elected, and cannot withdraw their shares. They can only be redeemed by the company through the terms of preferred share redemption.
Liu Li's part of the shares was something he had already known in his heart, but Lin Dongmei's part was a complete joy from heaven. The two had already been engaged. With 5% of the shares together, Lin Dongmei has been in charge of the accounts of several stores, and knows the income of the stores better than anyone else. As the company grows larger in the future, the dividends they can get will only increase. Just thinking about it, the two of them feel elated and full of motivation to treat the company as their own.
After the establishment of the company, Lin Jian promoted some people from the grassroots and recruited some college students. Today, the company is still small, but it has all the internal organs. Lin Jian can feel that the pressure on his shoulders is much lighter. Later, Lin Jian arranged company personnel, some of whom were responsible for recruitment and training, some of whom were responsible for supervising the decoration process, and some of whom were responsible for supervising and managing the existing stores. Combining these, Lin Jian predicted that at least eight more branches would be opened in the second half of the year. even more.
For the company's affairs, Lin Mo only participated in the initial share distribution and position arrangement, and Lin Jian was doing all the follow-up matters. He used to slowly digest what he learned in the short-term cramming teaching of Han Xun in M Country, and he often used his spare time to study business operations, business management, etc., constantly recharging himself, and now he is quite handy in managing the company.
Lin Jian now knows different people and manages things differently. Compared with before, Lin Jian's temperament is completely different from before. No wonder the old lady always said, 'My son is getting more and more mature. Boss pans out'.
After resting at home for a while, Lin Jian took his family to the newly opened second branch. The store is located on the Second Ring Road near the city center, almost the entire street is full of restaurants, and the business is extremely hot. The location of the hot pot restaurant was at the end of the street, adjacent to another commercial street, but it was only 6 pm, and the restaurant was almost full of customers. Lin Jian reserved a box in advance, and the family chatted happily while eating.
"...the taste of the snacks is not good, not as good as Uncle Cheng's." Lin Shu muttered dissatisfiedly while stuffing cold cakes into his mouth.
Lin Jian said: "Where is it so easy to find a master who is as skilled as your Uncle Cheng?"
Lin Mo didn't agree with his father's statement, "It's not easy to find, but it doesn't mean there is no one. In any case, the store's requirements cannot be lowered. There must be brave men under the reward. If you want to find it, you can always find it. If you can't find it, we still have it." You can train yourself."
Lin Jian said: "I think the same as you. During this period of time, your sister Dongmei has been contacting a chef in a four-star hotel. His craftsmanship is no worse than your Uncle Cheng. Unfortunately, he thinks our temple is small and keeps saying that we are here. Thinking about it, I'm not sure." If this person hadn't been procrastinating, the store wouldn't have opened the store, and the snack master hadn't been appointed yet, so in the end, he had to temporarily choose a person with mediocre skills to take over.
Lin Mo said: "Since he thinks our place is not as decent as the place where he works now, then forget it, let Sister Dongmei look for new candidates as soon as possible, there will always be people who are willing to come."
A good chef is of course important to the development of a hot pot restaurant, but no matter how good the skill is, it will not work without qualified quality. If you don't want to come, just say you don't want to, and let it go if you raise your self-esteem. Why bother to ask others to make a high-profile attitude of begging and begging? For snacks, Lin Mo is confident that the salary he gave is high enough, and there is no need to rush to beg anyone. As the director of the company, Lin Dongmei needs to know people and make good use of them, rather than 'you have to do it'. In the final analysis, she is still too young and needs more experience.
Lin Jian was also very annoyed by this matter, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell her when I get back."
A small episode quickly passed in everyone's chat.
After staying in Jincheng for two or three days, the brothers Lin Mo and the old lady returned to County L together.
Ah Hui saw the shadow of the van from afar, and rushed towards it. The original chubby little soil dog has grown into a majestic big dog. The tragedy of the Chinese pastoral dog is that, no matter how good and patient they are when they are young, they will become very 'dirty' when they grow up. Ah Hui is completely gray Qiu's hair shows its pure bloodline. Lin Shu didn't care about it at all, jumped out of the car, hugged Ah Hui who rushed over, and was licked by it so that he laughed loudly.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt that no matter how far away he was, no matter how prosperous the place he was, this vibrant small village was his forever home.
Earlier this year, the old lady took the initiative to redecorate the house inside and out. The door was replaced with a large black iron gate. After a small pig farm was built on the barren hill, she simply demolished all the pig pens and chicken pens at home. , people repaired two rows of houses on the original site, one side was reserved as a garage, and the other side was converted into a living room and dining room. The upstairs and downstairs of the house were all tiled, the walls were repainted, and the ceiling was changed to the most fashionable appearance. Hang beautiful chandeliers. The furniture in the house that could be used was given to the villagers as favors, and all the unusable furniture was burned as firewood. Several bedrooms, from beds to wardrobes, were replaced with the most popular styles nowadays.
When it was being renovated, the old lady was very happy to tell Han Xun that she had reserved a room for him, so that she would not have to squeeze with Lin Mo in the future.
Han Xun wanted to cry but told the old lady that he didn't mind squeezing with Lin Mo at all, really, it was more real than real gold.
The old lady blocked Han Xun's grievances with the words "just talking nonsense". She could only talk to Lin Mo over the phone, but Lin Mo gloated at her misfortune for a long time.
Looking at the changes at home, Lin Mo couldn't help curling his lips when thinking of this episode. Later, I must go to 'observe' Han Xiaoren's 'exclusive' guest room.
Home is not so much a place as it is a feeling. No matter how long I haven't been back, no matter how the family changes, as long as I step into the house, I can't help but feel a sense of "home", as if all the defenses and fatigue can be removed in an instant.
The old lady is in good health, but she is old after all, she is always alone at home, how can Lin Jian feel relieved? After the family house was redecorated, Lin Jian asked a female worker from the Barren Mountain Farm to come and live with the old lady.
This woman is in her forties, her surname is Wu, her name is Wu Xinghua, she is from out of town, she is divorced, and she has a son alone. Her son is studying in a university in other places, and she has no education, so she can only rely on working around to maintain the life of mother and son. She was originally introduced by a relative to work in a leather factory in the county. This year, the business was sluggish and the leather factory went bankrupt. She had been a vegetable farmer at home earlier, with rich experience. , although there was not much shortage of people at that time, the old lady hired her because she saw that it was not easy for her to bring up a child diligently. Wu Xinghua is really good at work, skilled, experienced, diligent, and decent. He never smiles with other men on the farm. He cooks and cleans very quickly. In his spare time, he can get along well with the old lady. Therefore, Lin Jian moved his mind and asked her to come in and out to take care of his mother, stay at their house at night, watch the old lady help the old lady with some housework, and give her an extra nanny's money.
Wu Xinghua worked desperately just to earn money for his son's education. In the future, he would also buy a house and marry a wife. There were a series of places where he would spend a lot of money. Suddenly there was another place where he could make money. Why would she not agree? The old lady has a restless temper, and the housework at home is shared with her, let alone order her on purpose. Most of the time, she chats with the old lady about the housework.
Knowing that Lin Mo was coming back, Aunt Wu wiped the upstairs and downstairs floor tiles of the house so that they could be seen in advance, and prepared a table of steaming meals in advance.
"Aunt Li, I have already prepared the food. Go and eat quickly, or it will be cold in a while. I will go back to the farm first. I still have a bunch of eggplants to pinch." This is the first time Wu Xinghua has seen Brother Lin Mo Two, a little surprised, but also a little reserved.
"Why don't you go? It's time for lunch break. It's not too late to go after dinner." The old lady pulled her and said. The farm has a formal eight-hour working system. In summer, it is from 7:00 am to 11:30 am, and from 3:30 am to 7:00 pm in the afternoon. There is a four-hour break at noon, which is long before the start of work in the afternoon.
Wu Xinghua was not a hypocritical person either, he happily agreed, turned around and went back to put on his apron, and set the table with food.
Wu Xinghua's cooking skills are not very good, and the ordinary home-cooked flavors are mostly light dishes. The old lady is satisfied with everything about her, and has a lot of opinions on this point. However, the old lady is getting old, and it is time to eat some light taste. She is not used to it at first, but it will be fine after a long time.
"This soup is really delicious." Lin Shu couldn't help praising after drinking a bowl of delicious wild mushroom soup.
Wu Xinghua's skill in making stir-fried vegetables is very average, but his cooking skills are absolutely superb. Even Lin Mo couldn't help but nod after drinking it.
Wu Xinghua smiled and said, "Xiao Shu likes Auntie and I will make it for you." Lin Shu has always been a lovable child, looking at him, thinking of his son who worked in a distant place during the summer vacation and did not come back, Wu Xinghua's eyes were full of love and longing It was almost overflowing.
The old lady chimed in and said, "Xiaoshu, you haven't tasted your Auntie Wu's stewed corn rib soup, it's delicious."
The foodie book immediately looked at Aunt Wu with star eyes, and she couldn't even say a modest word, "Auntie will cook this dish for you tonight, okay? The corn these days is when it is tender, and it is guaranteed to be delicious when it is stewed." .”
"Thank you, Aunt Wu."
Lin Mo scolded the snack in his heart, for raising him for so long, he was hooked away with a single soup. After lunch, Lin Mo was watching TV in the living room. Lin Shu ran over and sat next to him, and said in a big way: "Brother, don't be jealous. In my heart, the food you make will always be the best. I still count on you." Do it for me forever."
Lin Mo poked Lin Shu over on the sofa with one finger, and sneered: "It's a good idea."
Lin Shu got up grinning, and obediently accompanied Lin Mo to watch TV. Lin Mo was impatient with him eating snacks beside him, so he said, "Why don't you go out to play?"
Lin Shu rolled his eyes: "It's so hot outside, I don't want to go, it's nice to watch TV at home, and there is a fan blowing."
Lin Mo knew that Lin Shu didn't have many friends in the village, and with the name of the murderer's son, he probably wouldn't want to play with other children. Lin Mo didn't want his younger brother to be bullied, and he didn't want him to be bored at home like this, so he thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to the farm to see, you go pick some vegetables, and get the gifts bought for your godfather and the others, we'll wait a while Go see them."
"Wait until I finish this box of potato chips."
Lin Mo tugged the greedy and lazy little guy and said, "What's so delicious about your broken potato chips? No one will eat them for you after ten and a half months. Hurry up and leave."
Lin Shu put on his shoes slowly, and went to the farm with Lin Mo.
In just over half a year of renovation, the soil on the farm was not fertile. Lin Jian only let people enclose 80 mu of land to grow vegetables, and another 100 mu of land to plant corn. The farm has built a small pig farm and raised more than a hundred pigs, all of which are fed with cornmeal mixed with grass and leftover vegetables. There are a lot of chickens and ducks on the farm, and there was a theft incident earlier this year. The thief was caught by a worker who woke up in the middle of the night. , was caught and clamored who dared to touch him, and whose family he killed. As a result, Lin Changqing made a phone call and took him to the police station, where he was sentenced to several years in prison.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Lin Jian bought a total of eight wolf dogs and raised them around the farm. In order to prevent the wolf dogs from hurting people, they are usually tied up. These guys are very smart. Seeing that Lin Mo and Lin Shu were accompanied by people from the farm, they only barked a few times before returning to the kennel to close their eyes and rest. Ash often comes to the farm, and as soon as he enters the gate of the farm, he runs off to play with his "dog friend".
It was not time to go to work, and there were not many people on the farm. Lin Mo probably walked around and gave Lin Shu a big vegetable basket, and asked him to pick the vegetables by himself. He went to the opposite factory building, and now rows of factory buildings have been built, and the park is cleaned everywhere, because it has not yet been put into large-scale production, and there are almost no other people in the factory area except the guards. Liu Li was also using the temporary factory building he had built before. Seeing Lin Mo walking in, he froze for a moment, handed over the work in his hands to others, and walked quickly to Lin Mo's side.
"Lin Mo, are you back?"
"Well," Lin Mo said with a smile: "The weather is so hot, can you still stand it? Why didn't you move to the new factory?" The temporary factory building is low and airtight, and if the temperature outside is 30 degrees, there must be at least 40 people in the factory building. As soon as we got to the door, we could feel the heat waves coming inside.
"The production is small now, so it's not worthwhile to move there. Let's move after Uncle Lin opens more branches in the second half of the year. Actually, it's not too hot, just get used to it." Liu Li is a real person, even if Lin Mo doesn't count on him For the dividends of the batching factory, he will also do his best to help the boss save unnecessary expenses. There were workers who were dissatisfied with his management and secretly called him the "guardian dog" of the Lin family. Liu Li was not ashamed but proud. But after Lin Jian found out, he scolded those workers, publicly praised Liu Li for his serious and responsible work at the meeting, and even rewarded him with a big red envelope, which actually confirmed his nickname of "Guardian Dog". After that, everyone knew that Liu Li was backed by Lin Jian, and they didn't dare to rely on their relationship with the Lin family to embarrass him. Slowly, under Liu Li's management, the batching factory got on the right track.
Lin Mo said: "This month's weather is unnaturally hot, and everyone is working very hard. I will tell my father when I get back, and ask him to give each of us an extra 10 yuan per day this month."
There is talk of high temperature subsidies in later generations, but there is no such thing now. Workers with sharp ears who heard Lin Mo and Liu Li's conversation immediately beamed with joy. The work in the batching factory is not too hard. The salary of 30 yuan a day is already higher than that of many factories. This month, I can get an extra 10 yuan a day, which is 300 yuan a month. This is nothing!
The good news spread slowly, and everyone was as if they had eaten a elixir, all of them were extremely motivated, and their subordinates moved quickly.
Liu Li couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart, a bunch of sycophants.
Lin Mo called him outside, chatted with him briefly, taught him some simple management methods, and asked him to read more of Lin Dongmei's books when he went home. Liu Li's head was as big as a bucket as soon as he listened to the book, he really wasn't that kind of material, otherwise he wouldn't have studied so hard that he couldn't even touch the edge of junior college. But the boss has spoken, what else can he say? I could only nod obediently, and wanted to ask Lin Dongmei to borrow a book on management during the break, but in the end, Lin Dongmei said that one book was enough, at least I had to put it down. Liu Li was holding a box of books, almost crying without tears.
Coming out of the factory, Lin Shu has already picked the vegetables with the help of the farm workers. There are corn, green peppers, eggplants, pumpkins, etc., all of which are seasonal vegetables. They are not worth a lot of money, but they are Lin Shu’s heartfelt wishes. .
After receiving the gift, old Pang Xi smiled, and said that Lin Shu brothers were too polite, and asked Lin Shu a lot about his studies in the capital. Hearing that Lin Shu is now the number one in the Olympiad class of Qingyu High School, he felt strange Proud, almost like his own child won the first place.
In the evening, Lin Mo invited Mr. Pang's family to eat hot pot in the shop, and then went home in the shop's car.
Wu Xinghua didn't know that the Lin Shu brothers would eat out, so he stewed a big pot of corn rib soup. Lin Shu held his brother's eyes and drank several bowls. He didn't dare to say that his stomach was bloated at night, and he ran several times during the night Go to the toilet.
In the middle of the night, Han Xun called back from abroad, like a debt collector: "Lin Xiaomo, when are you coming?"
Lin Mo said, "I lost my passport."
"It's such a bad excuse, you can think of it, so I'll be more generous. I'll give you another ten days. How about coming over in ten days? I'll ask someone to book a ticket for you?"
Lin Mo said with a smirk: "Ten days, I originally wanted to come here in another six or seven days, but if you say ten days, it will be ten days."
"..."
Han Xun's roar quickly came from the other end of the phone: "Lin! Xiao! Mo!" This little bastard, if you have the ability, you'd better hide from him for the rest of your life, otherwise, hum!
Next, no matter how evil Han Xun is, Lin Mo will not let go until ten days later before setting off.
The ten days almost passed in the blink of an eye. In order to go to country M this time, the brothers Lin and Mo almost turned on the lights and fought at night to catch up with homework. That bastard Han Xiaoren didn't even think about it! Does he know how hard the high school students in the Celestial Dynasty are!
The old lady was reluctant to leave her two grandchildren, but she also hoped that they could go out and learn a lot. With some contradictory thoughts, she prepared a lot of gifts, and heard from Lin Mo that she would come back after playing there for ten and a half months. Only then did the old lady smile.
